I hold an EU passport. The VAT is structured so that the last user pays. The VAT is paid on most consumables.
My comments still hold true. There is little reason to want to improve oneself living in Europe. People are happy with what Daddy Government offers. People expect the government to supply everything. Wealth is taxed to the point of trying to redistribute it.
These are societies that place more emphasis on labor input above capital input while forgetting that labor input is easily transferred to another area. Socialisim is still in full swing. Labor thinks that if you reduce the work week from 38 to 35 hours that this will spur new hirings to replace the three hours. Then they go on strike when they find out that those hours were farmed out to Eastern Europe or China.
