No, that statement is applicable to all taxes. Look at my second quote and its link.
The average American household pays about 5-7% of its income in taxes other than income tax. I think that qualifies as "very little".
- clairity 6y agono, the trope that most people are freeloaders who don't pay taxes needs to end. even the lowest quintile paid an average of 16% of their income in various taxes. for someone making $14K, that 16% ($2200) is a serious cut of their living. for comparison, the upper quintiles pay ~30%. see this chart[0] found in this article[1].
