In sweden we also have social insurance fee (which is a tax according to all def even if it is called a fee) and VAT. 50% is just one of many taxes. You should count all the taxes an individual pays.
So then you would need, in other countries, count all the unemployment insurance, pension, school premiums and healthcare insurance also towards their tax. Then yes.
When people outside more socialist countries say they pay far less tax, they never include any of this, so I don’t either.
