50% That's about the same as American blue states. Remember to include state, city, medicare, social security and property taxes. Add healthcare and I'm pushing 55%

Actually it's more from employer's side - there are taxes employer pays that you don't see in your brutto income from which you pay 50% yourself.

Yep same in US. Social Security and Medicare are also paid by employer and most states have payroll taxes.
