I think there's a site somewhere that lists all this out. If I remember correctly, some European countries were paying the least amount in taxes while the U.S. was quite high.

Well the lower waged employees in the UK do make a lot more than the US. The minimum wage in the UK is $11.41 compared to $5.85 here.

I know in Germany the average pays about 40% in income taxes, plus another 19% on VAT.
And yes, they also pay about twice as much per gallon, around $9.

The difference is in the UK their min wage is designed to be a living wage. In the US the min wage IS NOT designed or intended to be a living wage.
That doesn't sound bad at all. What's average income in Germany? I'm assuming most people fall in the 15% bracket.Originally posted by: miri

Germans pay 0% tax on income from $0 - $12,094
and only 15% on income from $12,097 - $82,305
Germans do get taxed 42% on income above $82,305 though, but below that the tax rate is much lower than the US.

If that's true, then very interesting...

Are we talking about Euros or Dollars?

His post is in dollars, so yes.
I don't know if what he posted is correct or wrong, that's why I said "If that's true".
