Posted on March 22nd, 2008 by bile Categories and Tags: Uncategorized, 16th Amendment, confiscation, federal gas taxes, federal government, IRS, medicare, New Jersey, politics, property, taxesThese stats are taken from my 2007 W-2:
| Tax | % of AGI |
Days of year | Date |
| Federal Income | 20.2739 | 74.048838 | 01:10:20 GMT, Fri, March 16th 2007 |
| State Income | 6.0718 | 22.176775 | 05:24:53 GMT, Sat, April 7th 2007 |
| Social Security | 5.7599 | 21.037585 | 06:19:00 GMT, Sat, April 28th 2007 |
| Medicare | 1.6571 | 6.052428 | 07:35:02 GMT, Fri, May 4th 2007 |
Total percentage of AGI: 33.7628%
Total days spent explicitly for the government: 123.315993
This obviously doesn’t include the matching Social Security funds my employer pays, property taxes I pay indirectly through my landlord, NJ sales tax, state and federal gas taxes, import and export taxes, corporate income taxes, etc.

For comparison:
FED 17.45%, STATE 4.788%, SS 6.54%, MED 1.53%, TOTAL 30.32%
(Calculated by dividing Boxes 2, 17, 4, 6, by box 1. Using the calculated taxes from the returns yields FED 16.00%, STATE 4.44%, TOTAL 28.52%)
