I thought some of you would find this (one year old) chart interesting.
I was a bit surprised to see such a high % for Belgium and Germany while they don't seem to be complaining too much...
France used to be higher; I remember during my visits to Paris in earlier times, the Value Added Tax (la TVA) used to be 33%.
I was also surprised to see that the US pays 2% more taxes than Canada.
China is at 11%.
No taxes in India....

I found the other countries of Scandinavia at http://www.oecd.org/tax/tax-policy/taxing-wages-sweden.pdf
