Average rate in the states is what, thirty?
13-37% depending upon what taxes and how you average it/median.

I immediately like that site for mentioning that half the nation pays effectively nothing in taxes.
[Edit: I was close, payment in taxes overall is close to thirty percent.
The day productive countries realize they could literally name their price and hold managerial class countries hostage is the day things get a lot worse very fast, then a lot better very slowly.
Is GDP a good measure of wealth? Sure, it measures material assets, and GDP per capita crossed with PPP is a decent indication of what consumer goods the average person would have access to, but is that the most important part of life?
Sadly some do, but its mostly his handshake accounts at the FUD farm he works at in St Pete
Ah, how is the weather in St Petersburg today comrade?
OP claims to be from Finland, but is actually in St Pete posting as a job from the Russian gov because they're butt hurt that Finland is concerned about invasion after Russia invades a neighbor. shocked pikachu face. I dislike NATO as much as anyone here, but no one has made a more convincing argument for it than Putin.
If you look at OPs history, its only posts about Finland (as that's what his assignment is) and a number of handshake accounts upvote him and his comments about how glorious and wonderful Russia is. I'm not saying he should be banned however, as this job is what is going to earn him enough money so that he can escape Russia like all the millions of others fleeing the absolute shitty situation and government. I sincerely hope you make enough money to get out of there! St Petersburg is a beautiful city and its hard to leave I know.
P.S. The Russian army has registered perhaps the worst performance in all of history and snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. They have been unable to win against a literal clown president backed by a senile man and a tranny/gay army. That's a special level of failure that no one thought possible.
Do public services make up for it?
