Compared to the 60% we pay, yes.

No, I can't see it, nor would I want to.

Man is naturally inclined towards sex and beautiful women, I don't need to oversaturate myself with it, I'm trying to stay balanced.

Don't worry, American politicians are working hard to catch up to you and match your 60%.  With one boondoggle after another.

America is over 40% now, in the 1940's it was half that at 20%, and before 1910 it was less than 10%.

The constitution served to limit America's government for many years, but major events have changed all that....

The Civil War-  that's when the government started flodding the economy with paper money and became beholden to Jewish internation bankers.  The governments budget increased 20X.  Constitutional rights were violated, big power grab for Federal government, states rights removed.  North had industry and didn't need slaves so they used the government used the issue to achieve its own ends.

The Progressive Era- 1900-1918-  Government started trying to fix social problems and direct the economy.  Government started regulating businesses (so now you had to pay off a politician to be successful in business), created the Federal Reserve (more paper money that means nothing, more inflation, more bubbles!)

World War 1-  America was not attacked, was unprovoked, had just emerged from slavery, yet decided that it was now the worlds policemen and moral authority.  WW1 led to WW2 and so on and so forth till trillions of dollars have been spent for America to be the worlds police.

The New Deal- 1929-1945-  The Federal Reserve cause the stock market to crash!  They first flooded the economy with money in a scheme to bail out the British economy, then when this lead to the potential of skyrocketed inflation they abruptly pulled the money out of the economy, thus causing the stock market crash!

Then they introduced wage controls to save the workers plummeting salaries, which in turn made it unprofitable for businesses to emply them, emplyees were fired and businesses closed.  Franklin Roosevelt ran for office saying government had gotten to big and intrusive and promised to cut it 25 percent, only to triple the size of government while in office.  

The Great Society- 1961-1975-  

The Federal government took power away from local communties to educate and police themselves and started requiring that money to go threw Washington first, thus giving them the power to run our lives.  Entitlement programs such as wellfare, etc. began in this era.  People started to look to the Federal government to solve their problems, instead of looking to self and community.  Crime rates skyrocketed, later in the 80's the War on Drugs began and even more non-violent criminals were placed in prison and only billionair drug companies were able to sell to customers so long as they paid off politicans threw lobby groups.
