George Soros says we're not taxed very much or something

As Jammie says, you got eyes? Look at your paycheck. Think of property taxes, taxes on fuel, services, sales of any items (just your car tax can make you sick). Then add up everything you pay out of your paycheck. Don't forget retirement, medicare, all of it. And it's not just how MUCH they take out, but what they spend it on! GREECE? Are they out of their freakin' minds?

Think you're hopelessly overtaxed? Well, we've got some folks here who specialize in creative math who are going through contortions to tell us we're all crazy if we think our taxes are too high. According to them, we're paying the lowest level of taxes since 1950. 

[SNIP] Federal, state and local taxes — including income, property, sales and other taxes — consumed 9.2% of all personal income in 2009, the lowest rate since 1950, the Bureau of Economic Analysis reports. That rate is far below the historic average of 12% for the last half-century. The overall tax burden hit bottom in December at 8.8.% of income before rising slightly in the first three months of 2010.
