I totally admit I said 20-30% because that felt right to me. I guess I ought to sit down and look at the stuff governments provide that I appreciate (such as basic police protection and infrastructure) and how much that costs. And I should probably look at all the bad things governments do (unneccesary wars, intrusive nanny state rules etc.) and how much damage that causes.

Of course, there are other things that affect whether a tax rate seems reasonable, too. For example, in a country where the difference between rich and poor is great, it might make sense to tax the rich more than in a country where the difference is small.
