Lower wage plus lower living cost gives a better cost of living ratio. But hey, take a trip to Commiefornia and notice all the homeless, then you look around in Europe. You're not gonna find many homeless people at all, anywhere.
The vast majority of American homeless are not "working poor who can't afford the cost of living", but worthless bums who wouldn't work in any country. Better to compare them to gypsies.
What you just said is not entirely nonsense but since it's all in service of trying to justify multiple double digit taxes I'm gonna say it's utter nonsense.
I'm not justifying more tax, I'm just explaining how the system works.
You can have any opinion you want on that. Personally I think it's good spending more time with my family and not work all the time.
I don't work all the time and my VAT tax is 7% and optional on the city level.
The fact that you think that Americans have to work more than Europeans makes me think you're just a little bit misinformed about our economic situation.
There are Americans who work too much, and Europeans who work too much. No matter how you slice it, taking half of your income is straight out theft.
Oh yea, how many hours per week do you work? How many hours is your commute to and from work? Do you get compensation for your commute? Is it possible for you to pay nothing for transportation? Where can you get a decent house within 50 miles from a mid sized city for just $10k?
