Just stop crying about taxes...
In belgium I pay 55% tax on my monthly wage, gasprice is; 1.4€/liter,
"house buy" tax on total buy price, was 5 and 10%, now 7% for all. And if you build a new one, it's 21% basic tax + 7%...
alcohol is since last year 30% extra taxed,
driving tax; 800€/year,
house tax; 750€/year,
green power tax for my solar panels; 500€/year.
Sure we got "free" basic health care, but we need also to have extra insurance for hospital fees.
Also we pay roughly 35% on all non European stuff we fly in.
