true in terms of 'total percentage take' of gdp state still lot less many european countries. indeed below stats latest available full year (2005) selected oecd members;

oecd revenue statistics 2005
total tax revenue percentage of gdp


mexico 19.8
korea 25.6
united states 26.8
switzerland 30.0
ireland 30.5
canada 33.5
germany 34.7
spain 35.8
new zealand 36.6
hungary 37.1
united kingdom 37.2
italy 41.0
france 44.3
finland 44.5
norway 45.0
denmark 49.7
sweden 51.1

ok, things have got lot worse , uk in particular since still, can see citizens have historically paid less 'state' many other nations do. in opinion that's thing, hold on to.

examples particularly bad. may "up front" they're practically socialist countries!

denmark, sweden, finland, iceland , of europe have taxes "up front" , visible.

in us, of our local, state , federal taxes visible hidden taxes enormous.
