Out of curiosity, I looked up one of the highest taxed countries in the world: Finland.

$60,000usd = 54,133.80 Euro, with a take home of only € 31,447 (averaged tax rate of 41.9%, 53.2% on the marginal), which is $34,850usd

So, if Vampire@hexbear was thinking about Finland...

He gets a pass. (He wasn't, and OOP was using $, not €, but your point is otherwise valid!)
