I pay 35% right off the hop if I want to work self employed.

Then you make more than $600,000 or so, because even someone making $600,000 pays 32% for income tax, and another 1% for FICA.

Wrong....and you are defending this way too much. Self employed they take over 30% total even if you don't make a lot. Then all the other taxes you pay they end up with well over 50%.

It's an income tax. You pay the same rate no matter where your income comes from. There's no higher income tax for self-employed. You will have to pay the employer portion of FICA taxes, though. That's about 15.1%. If you're getting 30% deducted from your check you're withholding too much. The biggest sign that you're withholding too much is getting a refund when you file your taxes.

Correcting people's misinformation isn't defending. If you post on here that the sun rises in the west and I correct you, I'm not defending sunrises.
