While you are correct with all that, I would argue it’s not like paying half of all I have. Say your 20k is after 33% tax, that’d be 30k before taxes, our of the 50k I did my original math with.
It’s be like paying 30$ then, plus the “I’m rich and greedy so it hurts”, say 1k of physocological damage… Still a very small portion of what I have.
Hell, just in insurance, I’m paying way more than that every year!
