The table is ok, but barely, imo...
and it does not take into account FICA, medicare supp tax,
AMT tax, state income taxes, county taxes, ad valorem taxes, sales taxes,
phone and utility taxes, real estate taxes, and some I probably left out.

Very hard to compare apples to apples, imo. I am not suggesting
we/The US, are taxed more or less our share, than other countries
but in some of those higher tax countries health care, elderly care,
etc., is all covered via those higher rates.

And, the idiots in Wash.DC will spend 10-20% more than all of us
"send" them anyway...not even considering the TARP/Bailout Trillions.
