Really? Apparently I don't know how to read a graph. Perhaps you could explain it to me because it sure looks like a just a little over 30% in 2010 to me.

“OBAMA: I want to provide a tax cut for 95% of Americans. If you make less than a quarter of a million dollars a year, you will not see a single dime of your taxes go up.”
According to The Heritage Foundation (extremist right wing propaganda tank) the overall rate is ~28%, and they rank the US at 8 overall in their "economic freedom" (LOL! Freedom bucks!) rankings.

U.S. tax rates are burdensome. The top income and corporate tax rates are 35 percent. Other taxes include an estate tax and excise taxes. Additional income, sales, and property taxes are assessed at the state and local levels. In the most recent year, overall tax revenue as a percentage of GDP was 28.3 percent.
The most interesting thing to note about Strudel's chart is that only 2 of the top ten countries have populations over 11 million people and only 3 of the bottom ten have populations under 11 million. I would have used 10 million (a nice, round number), but Sweden and Hungary both clear that hurdle by the skin of their teeth. In fact, the combined population of the bottom half is probably several times more than the combined population of the top half. In any case, I'm a little too out of it to draw any conclusions from that correlation, but it's interesting.

A politician not keeping campaign promises? About taxes? I though only Bush I did that.

This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”
