More money in our paycheck in Europe? Hahahaha - great joke!! In the UK we already have income tax on our earnings AND VAT on most items of just over 20%. Everything that isn't nailed down is taxed and forget trying to run your own business as the Govt have now increased dividend tax so I'm now being scuppered there. I get taxed on my savings - which I've already paid income tax on. I could go on but it's fucking depressing enough as it is.

In Sweden VAT is 25% on most goods and services (otherwise 12 or 6). But before that, if you have a salary, before taxes, the employer pays about 1/3 in taxes. Then you pay a third of what's left in taxes. Then if you've been good and earned more than roughly 40k USD/year, you also pay a national tax that's 20-25%. Then, of course, there are more taxes, but these are the main ones. Lovely huh? 😁 🔫

X is your salary. Employer pays X/3 to government, thus employer is paying X * 4/3. You receive X, and pay X/3 as taxes; thus, you take home X * 2/3.

Your take-home pay is one half what the employer spends.

Then you get taxed on the rest.

Mad yet? I sure am!

And don't forget the extra "National Insurance" contributions that every worker has to pay (and every employer has to pay AS WELL for EVERY worker) which is an EXTRA tax just by a different name.

Oh, and Capital Gains Tax (because God forbid we actually make a gain that isn't taxed to the hilt).. and Inheritance Tax (Death/Estate Tax) which just taxes on EVERYTHING we have, that we've ALREADY been taxed on over and over...

Use 100 % virtualized currencies ( even worse than fiat ) that are highly volatile ? BTC fell from its peak close to 20 000 $ in Dec 2017 , to around 3500 $ which is now . You think that is smart investment ? You cryptoretards are truly idiots ... they sell you an "air based on trust" while "whales" dictate the price - and they eventually made a big cash out while many of you were left "HODLING" like complete retards .

No - the times of high valued cryptos have passed , and many smaller ones got with losses , because of their greed .

Greed - greed and stupidity caused by greed never changes ...
