    Everyone’s saying rich aren’t paying their fair share. No one is saying the Dutch are getting taken to the cleaners with taxes. Why not simply lower the tax rate of all non rich people to, like, 0.

      I would happily pay a 40% tax rate for good public services including healthcare.

      They have the 2nd highest quality of life index of all countries, with 1st being Luxembourg which is right next to them

        As a Dutchy is still don’t mind paying it, but it’s actually 49% in the highest bracket. 3 years ago it was 51%.

        It steep but everyone can have a and fitting good education.
