Hmmmm.

Income tax.
Sales tax.
Property tax.
State income tax.
Gasoline tax.

And the not really a tax taxes:.
Fees.
FICA.
Bond debts.
Costs of regulations.
Special assesments.

Indirect taxes passed on to the consumer:
Tariffs.
Inventory tax.
Compliance costs.
Payroll tax.

57% is probably pretty close. Maybe low?
