    I’d rather my country raise my tax to 50% than live in a country like America.

      Ironically, the average total taxation (after you add local, regional, national, etc. taxes) is either lower or at a similar approx. 35% of income.

      Americans just get stiffed by where that money goes afterwards.

        I wonder how it ends if they add all the insurances, benefits etc. they would need to pay to get the same benefits as us.
