Those listed above are only those taxes, that are paid by every single worker, no matter what, basically its the forced racket tax basket.
Because you could legally avoid: property tax with renting, car tax by using the bus, inheritance tax by rejecting the inheritance.
But you can't avoid legally the: income tax, VAT, (social security and healthcare you can if you are unemployed, but what good is that).
Actually you can't avoid any tax, because for example the corporations incur the regulatory compliance costs, thus you pay these
hidden taxes in terms of increased prices. You also forgot the taxes on fuel and taxes on insurance companies, etc..
And most people aren't average. Either they are below average, which means for example in the USA they are receiving earned income and child tax credits, which means they pay nearly no income tax and they receive welfare such as food stamps and rent assistance. Or they are above average, and pay even higher income taxes than your quoted figures assume.
- inflation: ~1% the official number, of course i bet that it's more like around 3% as the CB probably lies about this
Removing the Clinton era hedonics manipulations, the
consumer price inflation rate in the USA is 5% and that doesn't account for the
incredibly shrinking size of grocery products. But even that doesn't account for the hidden inflation that is accruing. Global stimulus added $8 trillion (the US only is shown below, not including China, UK, et al) since 2008, and this drove interest rates down globally which lead to massive expansion of loans in the developing world, which caused true price inflation to probably average in the double-digits in most of world. This will eventually come back to steal your wealth in the Western nations in the form of massive deflationary collapse, wherein you will lose all your income. Or for example in
Australia in the form of imminent stagflation.

And both Obama and France want to add a 16% tax on your internet use.
The system will continue to worsen until it expropriates every thing, which is exactly what causes 600 year Dark Ages, unless humanity finds a way to break out of the political inertia that holds the system together, i.e. the welfare and pension State where many people are dependent on the State.
