And sales taxes. And all sorts of fees to various governments. And parking tickets. And a host of fees associated with the criminal justice system. And lotteries/gambling. And and and. Nobody pays zero tax, except perhaps the most very wealthy "persons" (ie corporations) able to carry over bad years and write down previous losses/taxes against future income.

You've gone totally off the reservation. My argument was simply against parent's statement that Americans would be shocked if they saw their tax bill; I'll reiterate; hardly. A little less than half of America pays no federal income tax (after refunds are accounted for).
