As much as I hate paying money to what I consider worthless causes when there are what I consider to be much more important causes that I wish that money went toward, I've never complained about the amount of money the gov't takes from me. I feel super fortunate to live as well as I do, as easily as I do. Yes I worked hard to put myself through a Junior College education (shush  ), but life is pretty damn easy in America if you ask me. I've had no financial help from anyone since my Junior year in HS and I've always been able to afford the essentials and then some.
God, I almost sound patriotic. Scary. |
I think it is the Netherlands and it is closer to 50%. Germany has high taxes but not that high. Of course for those taxes you do get free health care and education.
