I would not make that if it wasnt a family business GS..

I dont really work alot, but I can never take some real vacation either, The phone rings all the time and i have to answer e-mails. I cant turn the phone off and the e-mails and faxes keeps comming. At some point we may have to hire one more person so I can be able to get some real time off. Its the downside to working in a small business with few employees. We are 3 people working full time and another 2 that helps out from time to time with production and running arends.

Lol Saw

Not trying to pry but what did you gross and net? ie, what was your tax rate?

This is before tax. I payed just over 30% tax last year.

Funked, since they apparently cannot challenge the data, I think it comes down to the fact that they believe in equal mediocrity for all.

I guess that's their choice.

You have no sales tax? On food? on items? on gas? No property tax either? Just wondering what the real number is, you ever keep close track to see where its going?

You got it spawn. The ones who want to get rich always have the option to move to US and then come back home with thier tail between thier legs if they dont make it.

It's nice to know you have a safe haven to come home to.

There has been no data posted really. The article in question has not put up _any_ evidence or linked to any sort of source. Everyone can say that "studies have shown" and so on.

There is a tax on pretty much everything you buy.

Thats what I was thinking Nilsen, you pay 30 percent income tax but 25 percent for sales, property taxes like 300 percent gas taxes.... My point being 30 percent of income taxes are just the tip of the iceberg. In contrast, I don't pay any sales taxes and gas taxes here are about 20 percent maybe? I think your real tax rate is closer to 60 percent by time you do the math but you would know better tha I. You ever consider keeping track?

Yes. we pay alot of tax, no doubt about that. We still have alot of spending power and because the wealth is more evenly distributed the crimerates are also alot lower than many other countries. Nobody werever they live here needs guns or other weapons to stay safe. Nor do we need any sort of health insurance to get excellent healthcare.

But I think these things have been discussed a "few" times before.
