I doubt there is anyone that actually knows every tax they pay, including fees and other abominations of the word hidden as a tax.

Since we own everything at least we don't pay interest.

Fed income 13% last year
Social Security and medicare 7.65% (unless self employed-then double that amount)
State income about 5%
Other taxes
Property-home
Property-vehicles
License fees- another tax-state and local
Tax on meals at restaurants 10%
State and local sales 5%
Every utility bill has at least one tax
Tolls on bridges
Gasoline tax-about 35cents per gallon
Internet connection tax-probably both state and local
Tax on vehicle purchase 3.2% (not property tax)
State license tax
Title transfer fee (fee my arse-more tax)
Boat tax property and license
Tax on gross reciepts for business (whether you make or loose money)
Capital gains tax
Estate tax
Tax on title transfers for property
Sewer connection fee (about $6000 here)
Water connection fee (not sure but at least $1000)

Probably many more I forgot.
