I don't think it's useful to look from an individual standpoint at taxes aside from income tax. If you keep going you can say you pay 'tax' when you buy something on sales tax, but also on a companies profits which you are contributing to. When you get to this point I think it's ,more useful to look at what proportion of a countries GDP is taken in by the government.
