Figures. Sorta like Switzerland. But whatta you get for such a high tax rate? Do they deliver the mail in bikinis? It must go somewhere worthwhile.
What about cost of living? What's an apartment go for in U.S. dollars? Houses/mortgages?
That's the kicker. If the cost of living is low it can justify high taxes. But if the cost of living is high in addition to high taxation then it better have beautiful nude women frolicking to and fro on a 24/7 basis big time!

Well we have good roads, and health insurance, and retirements are pretty good.
Well a house, well difficult, look at
www.funda.nl to see what the prices are....
http://www.funda.nl/koop/detail_foto...chmode=normaal for example is 995.000 EURO, which equals to 1159403,40 US dollar.
Or example, a car
Nissan 350Z price= 50.000 EURO, which is 58261,48 US dollar
Food, pfff, hard to say depends on your needs:-) But I know Holland is NOT CHEAP at all to live
