Baswell, if you think taxes are lower in the US than Australia, I think you might be right, but only just. Most people forget that states, counties and cities levy taxes there too, including income taxes and not at insignificant rates either...
On the other hand, if the US was running the same level of budget deficit as Australia, their taxes would be higher. MUCH higher...
Having said all that, how is your opinion worth anything when it comes to how much tax is a good thing? You're happy to cheer on having a huge unelected bureaucracy steal an enormous slice of the collective pie without restraint? Do you think it will stay at that level without continually beating it back with a big stick?
