A family that makes 80k spends about

- 9400 on federal income taxes

- 12,000 on payroll taxes (including corp chunk b/c of economics)

- 3000-9000 on sales/property/stage income taxes

That's a pretty big chunk.

I guess I don't really count payroll taxes since it's not a line item in my budget. Anyway, that's certainly a bigger chunk than I was envisioning.
