That's fine, but in this context the comment I first replied to above talked about tax rates on salary not on labor.

However, my initial claim that only a small portion of people in Europe approaches 50% holds for total tax wedge as well.

You misread what I was saying.

I’m talking about taxes that have a direct relationship to your income. If your income changes and the taxes paid change in proportion to your income change then that should be counted as taxed against your income.

Doesn’t matter if you call it labor, wage, salary.

You might have been talking about that, but that was not what I was talking about, nor what the person I replied to originally was talking about, and so it's not particularly relevant.
