I can't find any OECD data that says Germany is the second highest taxed country in the world.

They got it from the same place they found out they found that Germany also had "more than 300000 laws and rules for everything". You know, the "it feels like it must be so, therefore it might as well be so" place.

Still very strange that they even claimed the citation came from a very specific source. I'm mostly just curious, at this point.

Also, if we count all the various regulations, even at just the Federal level, I'm pretty sure that '300000' is not actually a big number. The US tax code is larger than that.

But, hey! It looks like a big scary number. So, there's that.
