europeans have ~20% vat tax on everything in addition to higher income taxes. but vat taxes are hidden from the consumer so they never think of that shit. so you got higher income leaving less take home and then shit you gotta buy costs 20% more. here in minnesota, shit i gotta buy, food and clothing, is exempt from our "high" (for america) sales tax of 6%
