European tax rates

Ah Luis, any politician who has raised tax money, ANY TAX, are not our representatives. Such politicians are simply government ordained thieves. We have had many such elitists during the 20th and 21st century from both sides of our political spectrum, mostly federal, but state and local as well. Most are from the left! Enough!

American Friends;



Current European tax rates - - PRETTY AMAZING !



The table below is completely accurate. It shows the combined Income Tax and Value Added Tax (Sales Tax) rates of virtually every country in Europe . These countries all have, over the years, evolved into and adopted Socialistic forms of government. Some are attempting to reverse it, now that they have realized it doesn't work. The only form of government that has ever been proven to work for the people, without collapse, is the one we have had in the United States, a country of Free Individuals with a Capitalistic Free Enterprise Economic System and a limited Federal Government. If WE allow Barack Obama and his Socialistic Progressive Liberals to have their way and remain in power, what you read below is exactly where WE are headed. Please read it with an open mind and ask your self, is this what I want my family and country to be subjected to, is this where I want to go? Every American must take a stand one way or the other. The question WE are faced with is not about Democrat or Republican. It is about Socialism and an Unlimited Bigger Government financed with excessive and unreasonable taxation, or Individual Freedom and Free Enterprise, and a Limited Smaller Government financed with less taxation.

May God bless America and help OUR efforts to remain a free people.

If you’ve started to wonder what the real costs of socialism are going to be - once the full program in these United States hits your wallet, take a look at the table. As you digest these mind-boggling figures, keep in mind that in spite of these astronomical tax rates, these countries are still not financing their social welfare programs exclusively from tax revenues! They are deeply mired in public debt of gargantuan proportions. Greece has reached the point where its debt is so huge it is in imminent danger of defaulting. That is the reason the European economic community has intervened to bail them out. If you’re following the financial news, you know Spain and Portugal are right behind Greece .

The United States is now heading right down the same path. The VAT tax in the table is the national sales tax that Europeans pay. Stay tuned because that is exactly what you can expect to see the administration proposing after the fall elections. The initial percentage in the United States isn’t going to be anywhere near the outrageous numbers you now see in Europe . Guess what… the current outrageous numbers in Europe didn’t start out as outrageous either. They started out as miniscule - right around the 1% or 2% where they will start out in the United States . Magically, however, they ran up over the years to where they are now. Expect the same thing here.

It is the very notion that with hard work and perseverance, anybody can get ahead economically here in the USA . Do you think that can ever happen with tax rates between 60% and 80%? Think again. With the government taking that percentage of your money, your life will be exactly like life in Europe . You will never be able to buy a home. You will never buy a car. You will never send your children to college. Let’s not shuffle the battle cry of the socialists under the rug either. It’s always the same cry. Equalize income. Spread the wealth to the poor (whoever they are). Level the economic playing field. Accomplish that and everything will be rosy.

It’s time to take a really hard look at reality. Greece is a perfect example. Despite the socialism system that has ruled this country for decades, with a 65% tax rate, they are drowning in public debt, would have defaulted without hundreds of billions in bailout money from the EU, and still. . . 20% of their population lives in poverty. What has all that socialism money bought, besides ultimate power for the politicians running the show? Do you think these people are "free"? They're not. They are slaves to their economic "system."

Instead of spreading the wealth around, spread this info around. It might wake up some people.
