The average single American is forking over about 25 percent of their
paycheck for income tax and social safety taxes — which in the U.S. include
programs like Social Security and unemployment insurance. But when compared
to other high-income nations, Americans typically are taxed on the lower
end of the scale: the U.S. ranks No. 25 out of the 34 developed nations
according to new data released Friday. The U.S. average is a few points
below the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD,
average of just under 36 percent. | w*******g

Just FICA tax alone, you shell out ~ 11% of your income.
If you live in any state with state income tax, say 5%, that is 15% already.
Federal tax rate is more than 10% on average for sure.

and their FICA tax rate is close to zero percent and most of their income is
dividend based, so only 15% on that. |
