Theoretically I find the percentage of taxes not relevant as long as you live in a real democracy. Because in this case the people who are in power and manage the tax money are suppose to be doing that for a 100% in the interest of the taxpayer. Of course that is theoretically. :-) . I pay at least 30%-35% now and I wouldn't mind paying a little more. Of course only if I am certain that politicians would spend it wisely, which is not the case right now.
