The main point is that our taxes are among the
lowest in countries with standard of living that's similar to ours. A few
are a tiny bit lower, such as Switzerland and Finland.

The bit about Finland could not be more incorrect. Nokia, a finnish company
with mostly finnish top executives, is my client and I know the country
exceedingly well. Perhaps you meant some other country. If you earn $70-80K
salary in Finland, your total tax rate will exceed 50%, just to give you an
idea.
