Having high tax liability isn't all it's cracked up to be. I work so I can afford to pay a nanny, so I can work, and pay taxes. I consider even doctors and lawyers to be playing in the same sucker's game.
Over half of households pay zero federal income tax, which seems to be a smart move, and encouraged by our tax law.
The only ones really getting out ahead are those who don't take a salary, but instead take a stake in something valued on Wall Street.

What used to be the only trash company, WM, has good benefits and ok salaries from what I hear, about $20 starting IIRC. But then a while back another trash company, Golden, came and undercut all their bids. But they hire at $15 and hour and without benefits. So the good paying trash company doesn't hardly seek workers and may one day end up going out-of-business here, whereas the other is always hiring.
