You are ignoring the 15-17% VAT tax they pay on everything they buy
(sometimes cascaded throughout every step of production), a $5 a
gallon gas tax and other taxes.

It should also be noted the vast majority of Americans pay nothing
near that 35% top rate
A couple, no kids, no mortgage, making $100,000 a year, taking the
standard deduction and 2 exemptions with $800 MWP credit pays about
12% of their gross in income taxes

(get a 1040 and try it)

First, there are VAT taxes all over the U.S. also. Here in PA for
example, to renew your car tag, you pay "ad valorim" tax every year on
the value of your car. As for the article, the numbers given are clearly
stated as "median".

You really need to find out what a VAT tax is. It has nothing to do
with personal property taxes.

.... and even more, nothing to do with income taxes which is what the
Democrat class warfare is all about...

Even if your comment about class warfare were true, which it is not,
what difference would it make to a non-earning, non-taxpayer like you?

Besides, I couldn't find a country on that map that had both "free" health care and a lower tax rate that I'd consider living in.
