Exactly this. The libraries in my city are fantastic well-maintained places, but we pay fairly high (compared to the US at least) taxes for that privilege.

- acdha 5y agoThe sad thing is that we don’t really pay that much less in taxes once you factor in the cost of equivalent private healthcare. The top incomes are higher but, for example, a Danish friend noted that once you add up all levels of taxes & healthcare it’s within a percentage points of Denmark, but with lower quality of service due to all of the baked-in inefficiencies.
