I did. You're right, we're not at Swedish levels - and may we never get
there! The point I was trying to make was the difference in what the
taxing entities are in the US - you can't just look at taxation by the
Federal government because in many parts of the country there's a signifigant
layer of state and local-level government, and hence taxation, too.
Some parts of Europe have a similar situation as you describe.
