No basis at all to say this, but of course that doesn't stop you. It's OECD data. Nothing bias about it. Same thing you're quoting except it's not one year and only one type of tax.

I have posted numerous sites including the OECD data showing we are middle of the pack.
Nope. Not a single one of them include all forms of tax.

We pay more taxes than most on earth and muchmor than middle of the pack:
