Need an hand to help you back up? You seem to keep falling down.
Is tax 33% in the USA? or are you not referring to the USA?
I've been self employed so I pay all my own taxes, it's more like 25%.

1/3, huh? You must be a high-earning Californian or New Yorker. I don't think anyone else pays that much.
In California as a single person, with only the standard deductions and not deducting anything else (no health insurance or 401k) you would have to make 210k to pay 1/3 of your salary. If you pay $100 a month in health insurance premiums and put 5% into 401k then you have to make over 275k to pay 1/3 of your salary in income tax
Completely false
