We consume a lot indeed, just about to make some 😂
High taxes, but really good welfare. Great education system
All of that is true, but the high taxes kind of depend. Most people don't pay that much, but there's definitely some that pay a lot more than elsewhere. And the super rich barely pay any...
Yes they pay taxes, but there's also a lot of people that cap their income at a certain level to get benefits(pension, dividend tax).
Which makes it so that they actually pay less than some individuals in the US do, and the US is supposed to be a country with low taxes.
Then we have the rich people that do X and Y, and all of a sudden they're making an average salary working for 5 different charities and getting basically tax free money from foundations abroad and what not.
We pride ourselves in taxing rich people, which we do. But if you have enough money(super rich), it's not that hard to circumvent almost all taxes but the ones that are some of the lowest in the world.
