It can vary. The effective federal income tax rate is around fifteen to twenty percent for most earners. There’s another 7.5 percent or so for federal benefits (Medicare and Social Security). State income taxes vary from zero in a few states to thirteen percent on the highest income bracket in California, but probably average out to five or six percent. Most (or all?) states require employees to cover some burden of their unemployment insurance as well. Some municipalities also have income taxes.

Americans also usually pay taxes on their homes, cars, and sales tax.

Many people said it wasn’t the worst stuff they’ve ever drank (since it was mostly made from concentrate juice I think that’s pretty good).

I had a peculiar friend that didn’t like alcohol all that much but loved the mango-habenero-apple cider I made. I made one red and it was this thick dessert wine that was 17% alcohol and responses to it varied from projectile vomiting to asking if I could give someone another bottle.

My first apartment was a tiny studio where I had a bed, table, a bunch of storage, and a five gallon bucket I made wine in. I don’t see what’s wrong with that.
