Comparing the US to Socialist countries is a valid comparison?
Income and Profits Taxes: Taxes on personal income and business profits made up 49 percent of US tax revenue in 2015, a higher percentage than in most other OECD countries, where such taxes averaged 34 percent of the total
Social Security Contributions: The United States collected slightly less revenue from retirement, disability, and other social security programs—24 percent of total tax revenue—than the 26 percent OECD average.
Property Taxes: Property taxes provided almost twice as large a share of US tax revenue—10 percent in 2015—than the OECD average of 6 percent. Almost all revenue from taxes on property in the United States is collected by state and local governments.
Goods and Services Taxes: The United States relies less on taxes on goods and services (including both general consumption taxes and taxes on specific goods and services) than any other OECD country, collecting 17 percent of tax revenue this way compared with 32 percent for the OECD.
US looks pretty progressive. More Income,Corporate, and Property Tax. Less Sales tax.
