People are obsessed with tax as a percentage of GDP, but no one pays their tax on a percentage of GDP. They pay tax on their income instead.

Lowest taxes and yet we are all being screwed. Perhaps because the average person is not being taxed by the government right now, but by landlords, shareholders and private companies.
