It just seems like the harder/smarter I work, the more I feed Uncle Sam as a single person. What to do? As of right now....., my tax bracket as a single person falls right in the middle of the below tax bracket. I'm sick of paying taxes!!!!!

Your thread is proof, that the distribution of wealth is killing people's ambition to become financially successful in life. Why work harder? Why even go to college? Especially when the Govt. can give you handouts from birth to death.
Whatever happened to the saying: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
The distribution of wealth's version: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
