Also NY state tax isn't a great guide, as many states are lower or higher and have their own levels of sales tax (which these figures don't take into account).These are their findings. In each country, the wage earner takes home the following proportion of his or her salary.
BBC News - Which country has the highest tax rate
- Italy - 50.59% (takes home $202,360 out of $400,000 salary)
- India - 54.90%
- United Kingdom - 57.28%
- France - 58.10%
- Canada - 58.13%
- Japan - 58.68%
- Australia - 59.30%
- United States - 60.45% (based on New York state tax)
- Germany - 60.61%
Why is it that Germany can do it and the US refuses to...yet we pay almost SAME AMOUNT of taxes?
This has what to do with education? You lost me there sport.
BTW, most of the countries on that list have a VAT, the US does not.

That's the point. Think about the numbers if you live in Nevada.
