Ive never lived or even been to Europe, but that is pretty much how I feel about the taxes in America. Yea, we pay less than you guys, but I think we get much less in proportion to the amount less taxes we pay. Just this evening, my girlfriend and I were going to get coffee and have a chat, and on the way there I took a particular street that hasn't been repaved in probably 20 years. It was like driving on an old country road, and I said to her "what am I paying taxes for again?"......It is very frustrating. You guys pay more taxes than we do, but the difference is overstated I think, and you guys get so much more. 7 months with 100% paid leave?? WTF? Average person here gets like 3 weeks paid leave, more or less depending what you do.

"Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class, made into law for all, a will whose essential character and direction are determined by the economic conditions of the existence of your class." - Marx (addressing the bourgeois)
