Counting all taxes, Europeans pay around 10% of GDP more in taxes than Americans. For that they basically get free health care, largely free education through the university and better working and retirement conditions. But most European countries also have much lower defense costs and tort burdens compared to us. On the minus side European government bureaucracy is higher.
