Here’s just quick random google search with him or her living in North Carolina since the post says they were charged crazy toll fees going to Florida. You’re off on your number . These numbers don’t include any money taken out for retirement and insurance. Let’s not forget the other taxes they can and will pay with their take home pay. If you’re going to defend the amount of taxes we pay as just and fair then this conversation is over . Lol A single individual in North Carolina making $50,000 per year will bring home an estimated $39,814 to $40,039 in net pay. This translates to roughly $3,318 to $3,337 per month. The remaining salary is allocated to standard deductions and taxes: Gross Salary: $50,000 Federal Taxes: ~$4,500 FICA (Social Security & Medicare): $3,825 State Income Tax: ~$1,470 The Breakdown 1. North Carolina State Taxes North Carolina has a flat income tax rate of \(3.99\%\). Because there are no local income taxes in the state, your state tax burden is straightforward. After applying North Carolina's standard deduction (about \(\$13,000\) for single filers), you can calculate your state income tax using the following formula: \((\$50,000-\$13,000)\times 0.0399=\$1,476.30\) 2. Federal Income Taxes For a single filer in the 2026 tax year, the standard deduction is \(\$16,100\). This leaves you with a taxable income of \(\$33,900\). [1] 10% Bracket: The first \(\$12,400\) is taxed at \(10\%\). 12% Bracket: The remaining \(\$21,500\) is taxed at \(12\%\). Total Federal Tax: \(\approx \$3,820\) [1] 3. FICA Taxes (Social Security & Medicare) These payroll deductions fund federal programs and apply to all wage earners at flat rates: [1, 2] Social Security (6.2%): \(\$50,000 \times 0.062 = \$3,100\) Medicare (1.45%): \(\$50,000 \times 0.0145 = \$725\)

Gallrein refusing to debate Massie speaks volumes. There are two words in a person's life that will open a lot of doors for them... PULL and PUSH.

Legalized Theft!!! ( Copied Post) Nothing will radicalize you faster than seeing: Gross Pay: $50,656 Take Home: $32,723 Taxes Taken: $17,932 And that's BEFORE: property taxes real estate taxes vehicle taxes sales tax grocery tax gas tax tolls registration fees insurance taxes & fees capital gains tax interest tax business taxes passed onto consumers They tax you when you earn money. Tax you when you spend it. Tax you when you save it. Tax you when you invest it. Tax you when you own property. Tax you when you die. Meanwhile the average American is struggling harder than ever to survive. And somehow: healthcare sucks roads suck housing is unaffordable retirement feels impossible groceries are insane & the cost of living continues to go up! Absolutely insane!!! Not to mention, I just paid our tolls from our trip to Florida, where we go through NC (tons of tolls there) & our toll bills from FL & NC were over $400! One days worth of driving through NC, was like $120???? How can that be??? Makes no sense to me.!! At what point do Americans stop pretending this is Normal!

He ran his piehole for years saying he knew where the bodies were buried pertaining to Epstein Files, J6 and Russia Hoax. Then when given the chance to make a difference and go after all the scoundrels he wimped out after 9 months. Now his podcast is sucking and he’s just trying to stay relevant. His actions or lack there of proved he was nothing but a Blowhard like Trump is becoming.

He just needs to put up or shut up. Enough of the heroic movie clips.

You know that personally? Lol

Smh….Unbelievable Trump has never addressed China’s role in Covid and now it’s insulting that we don’t accept their 500,000 students? I ask again isn’t China still a communist country?

Well I guess if you think Massie is guilty so is Trump. Stuff like this always comes out right before an election miraculously. Lol And you fall for it. Lol

Bongino is a cowardly self serving fraud. Lasted 9 months! Lol And his podcast has tanked because he’s lost credibility. Ed Gallrien would not even debate Massie. If you’re not willing to debate your opponent you’re a fraud per Catturd the flip flopper.

Appreciate it but kinda out of my area to make a difference .

I remember all of them, they were good. But the guys imitating Trump,Patel and Hegspeth are also funny. I stand by my post also. Lol

Imagine if President Trump went after Senator John Thune as hard as he does Thomas Massie. Maybe the SAVE America act would pass. Smh

I thought the imitation of the politicians was spot on and funny as all get out. Lol I know it hurts for them to make fun of your orange leader and party, it’ll be ok.

SNL was actually pretty funny 😆 Thanks

I am asking you! You aren’t for Massie but you can’t tell know one why besides Trump said not to like him. lol

Now we’re up to 5D level chess. Smh

Whoops….I think she’s spot on with her post. Read it and tell me where she’s wrong. This spin should be on a level of the matrix. lol

Who’s funding Massie’s opponent Ed Gallrein campaign? Why wouldn’t Ed debate Massie?

Unfortunately that’s where we are at.

I never said I’d vote democrat.

Well said

Good Grief it was a joke! Smh

No….I like to live in reality and right now Trump is sucking at making America Affordable Again! We had to live with this nonsense of ridiculous inflation for 4 years under the Vegetable Administration! Now Trump is continuing it by putting every other country first except America. He’s not the guy I voted for in the past. He’s changed. Someone has the goods on him imo.
