From the US point of view the European system is crazy. Call me a selfish prick but I don't want to pay 50% taxes for the rest of my life subsidizing arts majors' parties because I chose to study something useful.
- ulfw 12y agoUhuh. And how much in federal taxes + social security + medicare + state tax etc do you pay working in California? That's pretty much European levels.
- inclemnet 12y agoYou don't have to be a selfish prick, merely deluded if you thing much of your taxes would end up in parties for people doing art degrees.
- thejdude 12y agoI'd say most Germans with average income pay 20-25% in income tax, another 15-20% in health insurance/unemployment/retirement taxes, and 19% sales tax (7% on groceries). Just to give a perspective. I think the more expensive US states aren't that much better, but the cheaper ones are (much better).
