Imagine thinking there is no corruption up there, or no taxes down there
People being fine with higher taxes is a function of a trustworthy system where tax money actually goes to spending that benefits the tax payer.
If the expectation is that the funds get misplaced/pocketed/diverted along the way your average citizen will be far more willing (and view it as far more morally justifiable) to make efforts to avoid/reduce paying taxes.

I live in high taxes high corruption part of it
The corruption is a lovely place to holiday in though
Lol, imagine being so naive (or dense) you think these two things can exist without each other.
In Hungary, the effective tax rate is ~33%, we also have 27%(!) VAT, but hey, if you’re making the grandchildren of Fidesz voters work “real manly job”, you can get a 0% tax rate on your business.
we also have 27%(!) VAT
That’s wild
The rationale is to “punish not the work but the rich”, except the rich gets to skirt around VAT, by having at least one business. Also we literally have the tax system suggested by the Bell Curve authors, to “encourage high-IQ families to make children”.
Nice to see a sneak preview of my country in a year or two…
At least places with taxes have:
- a functioning health care system,
- actual mental health system, not just suggestions from politicians to “go to a church instead”;
- job options for the disabled that aren’t either a brutally underpaid communal work program, or taken out from some frat boy politician’s favorite r*t*rd joke, who also think people in wheelchair are just “too dumb to even stand up”, and autistic people are “just intellectual r*t*rds, whose moms slept with their teachers to not get transferred to special ed”.
And why is that? Whats the difference between those places that manifests itself in such a way…
Man these Texas is big jokes are getting out of hand
Reads meme again
Oh right…
This site is genuinely moronic
Shitpost ≠ shitty post
Thanks to American Exceptionalism we have both.
Moronic post.
Slovakia has both taxes and corruption. Yay.
Taxes for certain
I’d say Germany does not have high taxes IF YOU ARE RICH. Also Germany has lots oft corruption, in my opinion, most oft it is not seen by many people.
