A Janitor role ("Maintenance Person") at a Trump Golf Resort is paid $16 per hour, 15% below the national average. https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Trump-National-Golf-Club-6/salaries/Maintenance-Person So assuming a 40 hour week, about $33,000 per annum. Assume no dependents and taking the standard deduction. 2018 Federal deduction was $12,000. 2018 tax brackets: first $9,525 at 10%, remainder up to $38,700 at 12%. So, in 2018, the proverbial Golf Club janitor was paying $2,329.50 per year in federal income tax, or about 7.06% of their gross salary. Quoting the source CallumWK quoted (which you dispute, though I suspect you will flounce, and claim you really were interested in the tax bills of Golf Club janitors): I think I can predict how you, as a Slav, will try and twist this, rather than graciously accept it and move on.
