I'm in the opposite camp, I want EU to adopt US system, and list fees and taxes separately :) Better yet, I want to have a system, when your gross salary is paid to your bank account, and then you have to wire the money to a tax office by yourself. All that to raise awareness how much money actually goes to a business, and how much is stolen by the government.
- dave4420 2y agoIf there’s anything worse than paying tax, is having to waste my time paying tax when someone else could have done that for me, and more efficiently too.
- Detrytus 2y agoThat's a part of the problem though: governments made paying taxes so seamless that many people simply are not aware that they are paying them. I mean: they know that something like social security, or VAT exists, but they have not a slightest idea how much money it really costs them. Raising awareness leads to better choices in the next elections.
- dave4420 2y agoYou want to steal my time and trash my public services. And you promise that it’s all for my benefit. Just no. I’d call you paternalistic, but you sound more like an abusive father.
- Detrytus 2y agoWould you mind saying which country you live in? Because if you believe that all, or even majority of your taxes goes to public services then either you're extremely naive, or you've found a perfect place to live, and I want in :)
