Between the wife and I, we paid about ~80K in taxes last year.

For the record, I understand taxes and want to pay taxes. We have to pay for infrastucture, social services, etc. I just think I pay _WAY_ too much and NY/NYC takes a lot of the blame as well. In the end, middle class is starting to disappear. There is just too much of a seperation between the rich and the poor.
