So because other countries take an arm and a leg in taxes, but the USA only takes an arm, we should shut up and be happy? /FlawedLogic.

- seanmcdirmid 13y agoGive me a good example of a developed country with generally happy citizens who pay less taxes than we do, then we can use that country as an example of how a low tax society could work without failing spectacularly. Barring that, it might be possible that the libercrazian no/low-tax country might still work; we just have no evidence and/or experience that it does. Whenever I hear Americans complain about taxes, I play a sad song on a very tiny (invisible) violin in my hand.
- slygent 13y agoSurely complexity of the tax code is important too? Anyway, Hong Kong is a very developed and modern place, and taxes are much lower here.
