In the UK, I’ve seen estimates of 70% across a lifetime when you factor in the various other taxes besides income tax and national insurance (which go up the more you earn), such as fuel duty, VAT on purchases and bills, air passenger duty, capital gains tax, stamp duty, road tax, inheritance tax, pension tax, council tax, corporation tax, alcohol duty, (and other excise duties), parking fees and more!
it used to be a good deal, until the Americans took over our NHS, politcs and economy.

I see it more as our “leaders” blindly following the US model.
