The country as a whole, yes. States differ, though. There are 7 states that do not levy a tax against wages earned. And tax rates differ among states as well. New Hampshire does not have an income tax. Massachusetts has an income tax of 5.2%. California has a graduated income tax, which means that the rate gets higher the more money you earn.
There are also all different kinds of taxes. Some taxes are on a federal level, like social security and medicare. Some are purely on a state level, like sales tax. Not all states impose a sales tax. Some states tax everything that gets sold. Some states don't tax food, some don't tax clothing, and some don't tax either, but they tax cigarettes and other things you neither wear nor eat.
Some cities and counties impose tax, too. Again, what they tax and how much depends on that locality.
What tax you pay, how much and to whom depends on where you live.
After reading other answers, I have to ask - do you mean "all countries" or "all of this country?"

There are several countries that don't collect taxes from their citizens although I don't remember all their names. All I know is that they oil-rich countries like Brunei. They have so much money and so few of their own citizens that citizens enjoy a lot. But unlike the US, outsiders cannot become citizens of these countries.

No. For instance, Brunei and Dubai do not impose taxes.
