The most bizar thing in Europe to me is that many countries are straight up tax havens, no capital gains taxes, but then tax labor so highly.
It's a wonder to me, and I feel like many europeans don't even realize. In US, the commonwealth is funded by the rich. In Europe, by everybody else.
- lifestyleguru 2y agoActually many countries heavily tax all of them - labour, dividends, and capital gains. Especially Nordics, Benelux, France, Germany. Sometimes I wonder what's the point even of working and investing in countries like France, Belgium, or Denmark... yeah everything is so tidy, clean, and nice but you'll never afford any of it through employment.
