France is really ok if you are poor, or if you don't run any business.
But don't try to start any business in France...
If you earn more money than the average, you will be suspected.
If you own a better car than your neighbour's one, be carefull, he could call the financial administration to report you for tax fraud (even if he doesn't know anything about your business).
Taxes are only a small part of the problem, trust me

I agree completely,
Part of the reason we left Canada was the high taxes. (And the continuance of the "French - English" war that goes on.)
The tax problem in France is bad but thats because of the pointless and needless busy work that goes on by goverment. The overhead of supporting this much paperwork is got to be insane.
(Below is generalities based on my observations. Accept with a grain of salt)
Culturally I find Frenchmen to exist in a state of duality.
On one hand I have never lived in any place where intellect and acceptance of free thought is so wildly accepted.
But on the other hand, Frenchmen tend to be immature. There is racism, culutrual elightism and a tendancy for people "Cut their noses off to spite their faces" attitude.
I figured out very quickly that there is an ugly side to France when I noticed women would go *alone* to exchangiste clubs, get fucked and gangbanged by 10 different men. But then wear mini skirts with full-length pants on underneath.
Salopes, most of them, but more prudish then the Queen of England at the same time. (Wonder why I complain about porn talent in france?)

It doesn't surprise me and we are in a similar situation. Neither our bank accounts nor our corporation is registered in France. And thats because the paperwork is a fucking nightmare. About the only thing that gets paid here is our taxes and last year we just couldn't figure out the forums.
So we went to the tax office and said, "How much do you want?!" Believe it or not, 3 weeks later we actually got a facture (Bill). All they wanted to know was how much we earned and they gave us a figure based on that. **Amazing**
This proved beyond doubt the best way to get anything done in France is to yell, scream, say "Fuck Off" alot and make a very big "ImPoLiTe" scene. Doing this is now a standard business practice with us.

I don't trip into cocks. I get PAID to fuck them.
