I'm pretty skeptical of that number too.  Especially since you can't confirm it, I doubt it is really what the "average" American pays.  Even if you heard the number correctly, I'm pretty sure whatever group that gave it had a hard agenda to push and spun the statistics like crazy.

Obviously the number should be lower.  There's too much waste to justify whatever the current percentage even if you agree with all of the social programs.

Then you're nuts. There are about 7,000 taxes in this country. Is there really anything that isn't taxed in this country?

I ran some quick numbers based on our budget and tax-paying population, and 50% simply doesn't match up.
