I don't pay 46% of my pay in taxes to the feds.

We have layered government entities taxing you.  The Feds get their slice but you also have to consider ALL of the money you pay to ALL of the governments.  Social Security (you should count both yours and the employers' portion as the tax revenue generated due to your activities), FICA, Fed income, State income, State sales, local income, local property, all the excise taxes on fuels, all the fees you pay to the government to drive cars, have a pet, etc. etc.  You should even count a  portion of business/corporate profit taxes paid because those companies are paying their taxes with the revenue you provided by buying their goods and services - with money that was already taxed when you spent it.  Same for all customs and duties fees paid by companies.  They pay them in advance and then you reimburse them when you buy the goods.

If you don't pay 46% or more to the governments (collectively) it is due to you either having next to zero economic activity other than working or you are receiving untaxed government money as your primary income source.

400 economists endorse her

These are the economist cousins of the 51 intelligence officers who wrote a Russian hoax letter and the FBI "statisticians" who think, magically, no murders have happened in several major cities.  They are also related to the top government expert who declared unequivocally that "Masks are not effective against an airborne virus" several days before he recommended full masking, double masking, lockdowns of every sector of the economy, closing schools for years, etc.  All of these "experts" come from the same DNA (Democrat Nincompoop Academy).
