I guess you are right on the last one
Well you should know what a trusted source Wikipeadia is.
Do you have any stats then on tax rates in Europe? I don't think the Netherlands is the highest one.

I can find the one from here, than you will have our exact figures. I know the 42% for sure, but I don't know how much you have to earn for that... The very high incomes used to pay 52, but there is a change that has changed...
I'll look

Here you are on Dutch taxes.
This is just income tax.
Then we have road tax, tax on the car you buy (that is a tax that is another then VAT (or GST or PST) and Holland is the only country in the world who has that...), tax on savings (that means you have to pay 1.5% each year on every saving you have), of course the 19% BTW (GST & PST)
And, lets not forget... Excise

What was this thread about again? Not that it matters anymore. Just curious.
Don't get me wrong, it is very interesting but should have become a different topic four pages ago.

I thought he was in the military.
Student, and no, I'm not in uniform. It's a Soviet army hat I'm wearing.
Why am I not surprised?

For the record: I deeply appreciate the sincere compliment from Mr. Canada in the form of the nomination but I will refuse the medal if it is granted as it would just cause too much trouble. Ironically, if I did accept it knowing that it would cause such trouble that would be the very antithesis of being an Uber Canuck as an Uber Canuck would not do such a thing the medal award would be invalid the moment I accepted it.
