I guess it depends on the context. When I am filing my income tax, I am focused on that. But when budgeting or discussing tax liability in general, I certainly don't forget about the tens of thousands of dollars I pay in local, sales, SS, etc taxes. I would certainly not make the claim "I paid no taxes this year" if I managed to skirt only federal income tax.
