it depends on what you're doing. paying taxes as a US citizen and buying something in the US and getting charged tax, are two different things.

Answer:
There's a progressive scale for federal taxes, which is to say that the percentage you pay is determined by your level of income. At the federal level, there are also social security and medicare taxes. And states have their own income tax systems (though a couple of states have no income tax). Some cities also have income tax. And these are just taxes on your income; there are also property taxes, sales taxes and so on.
