> And countries where taxes are lower...well, the citizens must be scamming their government, I guess?
Yes. The happiest countries have the highest taxes because they tax those able to contribute so that everybody has a decent standard of living. Who do you think works in local government? Aliens? It's the people who live there.
Wow. Can't wait for you to win the lottery and pay the government 80% of what you won in taxes and be happy about it.
Do you even know anyone poor? As in living off on less than $2-$5 a day? Or whatever the definition of poor is in your country? And if so, can you share here with the group why they're poor and continue being poor?
