I'd love to pay taxes for universal healthcare.
- justincormack 9y agoThe future is just not evenly distributed, try Europe.
- GFischer 9y agoOr Uruguay here in South America, or New Zealand... You can actually emigrate here very easily. Maintaining an U.S. lifestyle OTOH is much more expensive, but healthcare is a BIG plus. And you WILL pay a lot of taxes - Healthcare-only taxes are 4.5 to 6% of your gross income, and sometimes more on top of it. And then you have 22% VAT and something like 30% of your salary if you're a software developer, and the 12.5% social security tax (all of those on your GROSS salary, and almost no deductions)... prepare to get paid less than half your gross salary in hand.
