What a load of horseshit, just take a look at a bunch of western european countries.

Then there's a 21% sales tax for everything but food and medicine in the Netherlands aswell

Yup, it’s easier to just look at total tax revenue as a percent of GDP.

It’s not perfect as not all taxes are borne by the individual, but it’s gives you a ball park.

Netherlands 39%

Switzerland 29%

For fuel it's insane. We pay €1.80 // $2 for a liter of fuel. That's $7.5 per gallon. This includes:

- VAT - Excise - Kwartje van kok (was supposed to be temporary, already > 20 years there)
