only 50% ?  Add to it payments to private corporations, which are not 
called "taxes" but serve the same function as taxes elsewhere i.e. they are 
payments for collective goods, such as health care, insurance, 
transportation, or education.  If we add these payments to the equation we 
may discover that the US is one of the most heavily taxed countries on 
Earth - and much of that does not even go the government.
