Guys
The US tax system may be more complex than many other countries (I have no idea
if this is true) but the rate of taxation is low compared to other
industrialized nations. I'm a middle class taxpayer and I estimate my total
fedral, state and local combined tax rate (including sales tax) at about 33%.
Ask our friends in Europe if they would complain if their total tax burden
magically (as in no reduction in services) changed to 33%.

| (...) Although income tax is comparable with your own [when NI is included], in the UK we are taxed at 40% of GDP. But the difference is cultural too; we don't mind paying tax if we get good public services in return... we want education and health (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
