Sure! That’s what Americans are clamoring for, more taxes! Let’s be more like those ultra sophisticated Europeans!
You'd be surprised! We're rapidly approaching the point where the point where the parasites outnumber the hosts. People figure they're going to be a getting check from the gov't...let the other guy worry about taxes. The kind of forced mediocrity that the government can provide is much better than what they're willing to work for to provide for themselves. It's so damned depressing!
Those ultra sophisticated Europeans are paying 18% sales tax. In my old country at least. We’ll get up to that too. Just wait. Socialism is a lovely concept, don’t you think? /s
