...also, some countries like France have things that are not called ‘taxes’ per se but still taken out of your paycheck by the gvt...if you are ever offered a job in France remember that what they call ‘net’ is not what it seems... and they have additional taxes if you happen to have savings and/or a house (‘grande fortune’) but don’t have the right connections, etc. i.e., their actual tax rates are much higher than advertised.

It would be nice if the tax code were simplistic enough that it could be more-or-less accurately represented with just a graph like that. It's also more complicated than this because other countries will also have other taxes that the US doesn't have (e.g. VAT).
The truth is they've made the tax code so complicated that for an average citizen to have an informed opinion on the matter it would take hours of research. TBH I haven't done those hours of research, but I am generally skeptical of the "it's only a tax cut for the rich!" argument because we it's not like poorer people are paying much in federal income taxes to begin with.

Flat tax. I think people, even the lower classes would take the government much more seriously if everybody was treated equal.
Take it out of the paycheck, so that people don't fuck it up at the end of the year. Sales tax, property tax, and hereditary tax need to be done away with.
