The US should have the lowest rates in the world, not just in the OECD (which is full of sickened, overtaxed economies anyway)! I'm not sure who prepared this data, but measuring tax burdens in the US is extremely complicated, because of so many jurisdictions that cross over, and I would have to see their analysis. They may not, for example, have included Social Security "contributions," which of course are a tax, even if politicians and their minions do not wish to call them that.
Additionally, this does not take into account the costs associated with regulation and trade barriers, which are embedded in costs and reduce our standard of living.
If you actually are willing to consider the expansion of government in US history, I encourage you to read "Crisis and Leviathan" by Robert Higgs. Alternatively, you can listen to the related lectures here.
