Disregarding that your numbers are slightly inaccurate, these tax rates need to be put in perspective, because you get a whole lot of service, insurance and infrastructure for it - whether you want it or not. By comparison, in the "socialist" and "high tax" state California, taxes are nominally lower, but what you get for it is essentially a dumpster fire. Plus, you have to pay out of pocket for healthcare and retirement.
