Yes, and if you are an employee who earns more than €20,000/year (before taxes), you also get more than 60% of what you make stolen from you.

And that graph doesn't even take into account taxes like VAT (21%, even on stuff like fuel that is already taxed over 50%, and on electricity and water), property taxes, inheritance taxes, capital gain taxes, and so many others that's just impossible to keep count.

Perhaps Americans simply prefer spending their money themselves however they want instead of giving it to a corrupt bureaucracy who, even with such monstrous levels of confiscation, still need to further destroy the country with enormous, unpayable deficits and debt.
