My take has always been that the focus on the tax burden is wrong, the focus should be on how the money is spent and how government services can enhance growth prospects through things like education. One of the big conundrums of the US is that a lot of money is being spent on healthcare - much more than other industrialized countries - with worse outcomes. Which is the same as saying we are spending money inefficiently.

"Crippling" is clearly a subjective--and not objective--adjective when describing Germany's tax burden.
We can't compare Germany to the USA, Germans have higher innate IQ's
