At 50+% tax rates, I argue that we're already at $Serfdom.

If you are in an upper tax bracket and live in a high-tax shithole like NY or CA you will easily pay 50% of your income in local, state and fed taxes

You are not alone. Most people are unaware. Also in that list is the payroll tax, which you pay but never see. It's not on your pay stubs or your tax return. If you switch from W2 to 1099 it'll slap you in the face though. 7.5%.
