Depends who you ask, some call it theft, others call it “society’s subscription fee.”

But looking at Denmark’s 35.7%, you gotta wonder if they at least throw in free WiFi and therapy!

No sugarcoating it. 100% theft

free money for the politicians to luxuries.

The real question is : are we paying for a system that works, or just fueling inefficiency?

Because high tax without high return definitely feels more like theft than service.

That graphic says it all
Denmark leading the “donation drive” while Poland’s out here living tax-lite!

Oof… Denmark really out here collecting premium subscriptions on life 😅

Is it social support or just state-sanctioned daylight robbery?

Either way, the paycheck feels lighter.

And yet… somehow, Denmark always ranks as one of the happiest countries on Earth. 🤔

High taxes, high services, maybe theft comes with healthcare and education included?

Depends who’s collecting and how it’s spent. In some places, high tax feels like robbery. In others, it feels like a subscription to working infrastructure and healthcare. Context is everything.

In my country is 10% and I think I am lucky, but in the same time the country has serious deficit and they might increase taxes for everyone.

It's funny Europeans use to move to America to escape high taxes,. I guess it's now Americans moving to Europe to escape high taxes!

Anything more than 25% is coercion.

Well, Denmark is low in this image.
My default tax percentage is 39%. That is after 8% has been taken already.
