I don't know about that. I've never worked it out in detail, but I don't think I pay anywhere near that much. But of course I don't live a conventional lifestyle, so miss some of the taxes that hit those that spend every last dime.
You know, though, it's not the paying that I mind nearly so much as what gets done (or in the case of things like education, not done) with the money.
