That depends on what you compare. I am paying lower taxes here in London than I did in New York City (and I actually get something for my taxes here, free healthcare etc), but if you compared Paris to Anchorage then yes they will be significantly lower in Anchorage.
Overall however it is true to say that taxes are
generally higher in Europe than the US but it shouldn't be taken as always holding true.
