I read in today that New Zealand implemented a 10% GST but also cut 
personal income taxes by 50%. This seeems to be a little more reasonable.

What I am curious to know is what do other netters feel is a fair 
amount of tax? 

I myself feel that 25 % should be approaching the limit of total taxation.
This itself may be a little low.
I do feel that when the gov't (organized looting) is taking over 50% you
no longer are working to support just yourself. I have no desire to pay
over 50% of my wages for the privilege of working. 
The fact that the gov't can't trim expenses a paltry 10% shows that they are
completely unfit.
What is really needed is someone like Donald Trump to run for office, a real
manager who knows how to use money. ( I'll be boiled for this one:-) )
