You prefer Europe? What do you have to come up with as a down payment for a real house on a real piece of land? 50%? More? And how much does that house cost? How long, at your current income and tax rate does it take to save that much money? What is your current tax rate? Over 50%? That's not success... Yes I do.. I have a 50K (Euros, 1.3US$) income, My wife has a 30K, I own a lovely house among pinetrees on the riviera, etc.. AND I have social security a 100%, Unemployment protection (57% on 3 years in case), Only VAT on merchandises (no local sales taxes), and my tax rate is 19.61 % (I paid it 2 days ago..).. not a penny more.. And I'm only an upper middle class man.. not a "happy few"... Many people here earn that much and taxes are lowering from year to year due to the willing of our goverment (It prefers to overtax foreign companies ;-) I won't learn to a US citizen what protectionism is ;-) ) Of course there is poverty too, but the rate of people living under the UNO minimal vital income is far lower than in the US.. Of course You may love your country which is your absolute right (I should say is even almost a duty),as much as I love mine, but keep an eye open, paradise is not your country neither is it mine.. ;-) All this is propaganda stuff.. Cheers, Phil. |
