US taxes are HIGHER than Europe’s

Yes, higher, that’s because in the U.S. there are multiple taxes, which result in Americans paying a higher effective tax rate than in Europe.

Next time a politician warns that his opponent wants to tax you like the Europeans, tell him, “I wish!” Then ask him (or her), why do we pay so much more and get so much less?
