People in the US and a lot of the Americans I know talk a lot about how things are so easy and user friendly in the US. And you know what? They aren’t. Stuff like filing taxes can be a bureaucratic, paperwork nightmare. And it just isn’t here (or in Norway). It’s just about the easiest thing in the world. And most of the things Americans are told are backwards, socialistic, inefficient and on and on in nameless other places just aren’t. It’s just a brainwash.
Nothing makes people more angry than when I tell them that we don’t pat enough tax.
Haha! I can imagine. When I tell Americans that I pay marginally more tax than them but have universal, free healthcare, free university, a year of paid maternity leave – and all the other things they don’t have – they get angry and jealous. They should be asking what the taxes they pay now are doing for them – especially because we really don’t pay THAT much more here.
