As a whole, we're at almost at 65-70%. Add in "Obamacare and we are at approximately 70-75%. Obama wants socialism, that's what I meant by the title of the thread. France is fucked.

It includes most taxes payed, seeing as the difference between those values and the ones on this chart (which include everything except state, so add a few % to each value if you like) aren't hugely different:

Where did you read the 65-70% percent from? What do you mean when you say it is this high "as a whole"?

state taxes and everything else related to living in those states....

you underplay the amount of taxes we are paying, Im not saying its 65-75%

To think that we arent over taxed and the govt isnt incredibly wasteful and frivolous is simply assinine though

It's definitely time to focus on the spending/waste time of things, I agree.
