I'm not normally a "taxation is theft" guy, but that's a lifechanging amount of money for almost anyone I know and they're fucking stealing it from us to fund genocide.
I'm normally a huge pedant, so I'll point out that using the median would change this number a lot. America is an incredibly unequal country. The average salary in the US was ~$70k, but the median is ~$43k.
Total federal obligations on $70k is $13k.
For $43k it's $6.5k.
