I wish I could keep 36% of my income, but since I'm not rich I have to use it to survive.

If you're still feeling sorry for poor Ben, he doesn't keep 36%, he pays 36%, and that's only on adjusted gross income after he invokes all the tricks and loopholes afforded the wealthy.

Why can't you get it though your fucking head everything he pays over that is his choice? The feds don't force him to pay an agent, but if he does it's deductible business expense. The feds don't force him to buy several multi-million properties, so he has to pay property taxes on them... at the same rate as everyone else in that town. The fed doesn't force him to buy lots of expensive shit, which incurs sales tax. Choices, rich people have lots of them.
