Little bit smaller government and so a lot less to pay for.
I could find no estimates of total tax burden, which at this point would be mostly conjecture but better than nothing.
Compared to a modern-day country like Belgium or France, where the tax burden is about 44-46% of GDP, I would wager that the Athenian tax burden was very low as a fraction of the economy. To achieve modern levels of taxation you need a bureaucracy which did not exist in classical Athens.
