but why?
why is there a minimum?
why is there a maximum?
BECAUSE OF THE F'EN INCOME TAX CODE, FEDERAL RESERVE, INTERNATIONAL TRADE SANCTIONS/TAXES ETC ETC....
no matter what whether min/max you're a cog |
| ...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

NOTHING is free... "At 60.2%, Denmark last year had the highest top personal income tax rate among the 34 countries in the OECD, an organization of developed and emerging countries. And that 60.2% applied to income over roughly $55,000." source: http://money.cnn.com/2013/04/01/pf/taxes/top-income-tax/ |

According to your link Denmark's top tax rate is 46% while the USA is 44%... for that 2% they get free education and health care. Sounds like a deal to me. |

You shouldn't Cicero. With 89% of their population who vote, you'd be even more of a pariah than you are in the USA. |

If you read further, you'd see this: "At 25%, it imposes one of the highest national sales taxes in the European Union and the OECD" Again, the idea of "free" is bogus..you pay for it just like anything else. |

Isn't that what campaign promises and elections are? Let me guess...You cast a vote not out of your own interests, but the interests of everybody else. The act of voting is an exercise of WIIFM. Try to run a campaign suggesting privatizing Social Security...Boomers will go crazy with the mere suggestion of messing with their welfare. |
