WTF? 40% of earnings to the tax man?!?
If you are self employed and single with no dependants or other deductaions - your federal tax would be:

$14,114 on $50,000
Some states have no state tax, but in MD - we pay about 7% depending on where you live. Sales tax of 5% on goods, property tax, and the like.

Someone making 50K a year in MD pays about $17K in income taxes.
