Funny, living in Romania have getting almost nothing back for the taxes is a reason for complaints. About 60% of the tax money goes to various forms of welfare (my wife is one of the best government experts in this stuff), but when you need to go to a hospital and they tell you they don't have drugs or even bandages and you need to buy it with your own money in order to get a surgery, then these "lowest taxes in Europe" have a different meaning. One year ago I got an offer to work in France, so I made a comparison: tax rate is a lot lower there for a similar income. At the same time inflation rate is higher in Romania, credit is a lot more expensive, corruption a lot higher, so the taxes are too high for what you get.
