Well, comparisons that are easily posted in a forum like this are not easy to find, but here's one. It is about what I thought it would be as well. Tax income per capita, at least based on 2003 numbers on which this chart is based, show US tax revenue per capita to be right in line with Canada and the UK, and very close to other countries that some of you think we should be emulating, like Germany.

Since there have not been any drastic economic upheavals that have impacted only the US, or any other country exclusively, I'd suspect that these numbers haven't changed all that much.
The point? You can say we need to be taxed more, and that's fine. But don't tell me that the US is somehow far out of whack with your social-ist utopias in Europe and Canada.
