First off, "we" does not make it clear what country you are referring to.

However, as the largest number of users of WikiAnswers are Americans, I will assume that "we" refers to the USA. In that case, No. The USA is FAR from being the most oppressively taxed nation in the world. US taxes are actually quite light, primarily because the US has an appalling lack of social programs. Compare US income tax, which averages around 20-30% with Swedish income tax, which averages around 60-70%. Compare the average 5-10% sales tax in US States with the 15-35% value-added tax in European countries.
