Cant imagine making 30 k a year and having to pay even 1600 in taxes. This is saying it will increase that much.

It is worth noting that almost all Americans pay other taxes. Federally there’s also social security and Medicare taxes.

At the state level almost every state also has an income tax, and some states like Pennsylvania also have a local county tax. Others have things like personal property tax (Missouri) or other more targeted taxes on specific services.

Oh yeah very much the same here too. Medicare levy being one extra tax we pay at tax time. GST, stamp duty on cars and houses, council rates, etc
