I live in a social democracy, so I can say it's not perfect. Taxes are heavy. Very heavy. 40%... Like I said, it has its ups and downs. But I would hate to see this country turns into a socialist one. |
Just 40% percent? Crap, that's not too far from what I pay. At least you get some benefits from it. All of mine go to the special interest poster people... |
The point is not how much they take out of your checks, the point is where the money goes and I too would be willing to sacrafice a few more dollars so long as I was guaranteed some benefits from it. For reference right now, I pay 33% in taxes. (*)(*)(*)(*) close to that 40% if you ask me. 1/3 as opposed to 1.2/3
