The Tax Foundation estimates an average American year of work yields little for growth. In 1963, 2 hours 21 minutes go to taxes, 1 hour 24 to housing, 1 hour 22 to food, 37 minutes transport, 32 minutes clothing, 21 minutes medical expenses, 19 minutes recreation, and 1 hour 4 minutes for all other costs. The result: no clear savings, highlighting economic stagnation under the high tax system.
