yes, but in the US you need to pay for health-insurance and far more for education. if you add those the US pays more because the healtcare system is so inefficient, and the expensive education makes it really hard for poor families to do better in the next generation, and the deck is already stacked against them.
Many of my friends from highschool choose to go into the armed services to pay for college, another friend of mine pays more to his student loans repayment than I pay in mortgage, water, electricity and real-estate taxes combined.
Overall civilised countries have it better than the US. Hell I'm happier paying twice the tax in Denmark than I am with the tax here, mostly due to the paperwork burden.

B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
