These are listed in reverse chronological order.

Here’s a breakdown as to which countries tax the most (France) and least (Saudi Arabia). Here in California, between federal, state, FICA, and property taxes, some folks shell out 70% of their income to various government parasites, so 46% sounds pretty good to me!

Since the majority (and I do mean the majority) of my income and the income of everyone else I know gets sucked up by government parasites, it’s interesting to see what folks think of different places where the money is allocated. Not surprisingly, people are totally OK with the splendor of the Grand Tetons and other national parks, whereas they’re not so keen on the IRS. Interestingly, the most despised of all isn’t the tax man anymore but………the Department of Education! I’m inclined to agree.
