I thought I had read that E.U. citizens no longer had to pay this. Maybe
they should get rid of it for everyone. I have heard so many horror stories
about E.U. taxes, etc... Some DMOZ editors complained that they had to
give it up because it was too expensive.
If other countries raised the taxes to the same levels, the industry would
be hurt. It wouldn't help the E.U. Maybe they should lower the levels
so that the people in the E.U. would be on level playing field, and the
industry would be intact.
I don't know about OTHER countries, but denmark, for example, has a VERY
high income tax. To compensate, they have a high minimum wage. When will
governments have enough? The US has ALREADY spent over a decade in advance.
HECK, Big companies in the U.S. are taking advantage of laws that smaller
companies can't. Part of that is tax arbitrage. I'm not happy about that
either.
