The tax systems of Russia and the United States are different and built long before your birth and will survive you. People don’t pay money to pension funds. Did you personally pay a lot?

In modern Russia, a new sect is gaining power "The Witnesses 13%". The main dogma: all taxes are paid only by employers and stores, and no tax rate, including VAT, affects the person.
And in general, how much someone paid there can be found in principle, if desired. Everyone has an INN, where to apply you can find out in the accounting office or send a request through them.
