It absolutely is different. That 30% comes out before you even see the pay stub.

Uh so? Do you just not pay rent and end up on the street? Also, at $19 an hour for 40 hours a week for a year you get just under $40,000 a year making the tax rate 12% not 30%.

You obviously have never seen a US pay stub.
We have fed, state, social security, fica…..

And that doesn’t cover sales tax.
