I wish my marginal federal tax rate was only 22%. I was in the 28% federal tax bracket during the Bush and Obama years. Now for the same income, Trump’s tax package pushed me into a 32% effective rate. Oh yea, and I lost a ton of writeoffs (SALT cap, union dues, per diem differential, etc...).

I live in CA and my effective CA state tax rate is 5.5%. I have no problem with my state taking 5.5% of my total income. But the federal government taking 32% of each extra dollar I earn is crap. Thanks for the tax hike GOP.
