Well it is no excess of 50% as you say. Besides how much money do you pay for insurance in case you have to go to the hospital? The system is different here. Everybody will get medical care no matter if they have money or not at a hospital. This is only one example. Education is another. So you cannot simply compare it to the low tax rates you may have you have to take into account what you have to pay to the different other service suppliers too. Preben
