You've got to be kidding if you're complaining about taxes in Singapore... OTOH, there's a lot of complaining going on in Singapore : It's a national sport (more akin to the UK, IHMO, than the US).

FWIW, I lived in NYC for over a decade, moving to Singapore last September (2013). NYC is definitely more expensive.
