I remember reading a report somewhere recently which said that the total burden of taxation (direct and indirect taxation, plus things like medical insurance in those countries where it's not government funded) in the top 20 industrialized nations is pretty much the same - between about 50 and 55% of income on average. Different countries choose to apply tax in different ways, but it all finishes us at pretty much the same sort of level once you add everything up.
