except for the public pension that is a shameful tool invented to satisfy one generation of privileged people, I disagree with you.
The problem is not the % of income tax. tax is fine if the system works. take a simple example in many european countries education is free. in USA even in a community college, going beyond two year studies will cost you 10K$ per child, then if you do not have a good company insurance it will cost you an arm to insure your family. id rather pay tax to subvention education.
the only problem is that salaries are not going up since the early 00s, tuition costs are going up, consumer goods prices are going up, accomodation price are so crazyly high (especially in cities where there are lot of jobs) that you won't get a house before 30-40 years of debt. Hell people even thought their greatchildren will work two days a week and earn more than them but the sad truth is that the payroll of a qualified worked in today's world will buy you less than a blue collar in the old days. this is the great failure we experiencing right now, tax just did the right thing, they went up, like everything else but our salary.
This is the only thing to fix in the world right now. a company shouldn't make 400K$ profit per employee.
