> Last year I paid 17% of my total income in taxes.

Was that in NYS? It doesn't take a lot of income to hit the state rate of 6.33%, everything after $80,651 filing alone, which isn't unusual downstate. You can add roughly 3.8% to that if you live in NYC and another 22% Federally, all just on income.
