How Much do you *Actually* Pay in Taxes
Relative to your salary, how much are you actually paying. I am an American and I have the feeling the propaganda that you guys pay 50% of your $$ in taxes is bs. It might be for ultra high earners but I want standard middle class comparisons because I bet the American middle class is paying close to you guys (and getting way less). I'm looking for answers from any country though I know Western Europe and Eastern Europe will be very different. And it doesn't matter if you convert to USD or not
EDIT: THANK YOU ALL for the responses! As I suspected, it wasn't much higher than what I am paying now for taxes. I made about $83k last year and paid almost $20k in taxes, almost a 24% tax rate and I wouldn't mind paying an extra 10% more for a more functional society where everyone is taken care of. But yea I just wanted transparency from real people within the same class as I to compare to.
