• United Kingdom - 57.28%
• France - 58.10%
• Canada - 58.13%
• Japan - 58.68%

• United States - 60.45% (based on New York state tax)

BBC News - Which country has the highest tax rate

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.

.

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).

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

Call us back sport when Germany has 12 aircraft carriers and the like,

Then decommission them. I already said we need to close all foreign bases and eliminate military to 200k max.

Well lovely news. all you who want "free" college should get to packing

WE the people in this country take enough away from our families and give to people who doesn't want to pay for their own way in life.

not in our contract as American citizens.

Just think, you could have gone to college instead of collage.[/QUOTE

The sales taxes are local consumption taxes. Local real estate taxes also fund a lot of schools. Other countries have different systems.

Ummmmm... because they've spent most of the past 70 years since 1945, under the protection of the American Military Shield, and not spending much of their own GNP on defense, compared to those who have kept them from harm for so long?

In Nevada, the casinos fund the schools.

Now that's ironic, since the US education system kinda is like gambling with your future.

NYS sold the idea of a Lottery on the notion that a percentage would go to education....
How has that worked out.....

New York Lottery

The left will always cry about people not being taxed enough or government not spending enough.

Boy, oh boy, oh boy. Here are some hints: Germany's corporate tax rate 30% lower than ours--yes, 30% lower. Germany long ago instituted very tough tort reform. Germany has imposed tough restrictions on labor unions' bargaining power and on labor costs. Germany's exemptions are structured differently than ours. Germany spends a fraction of what we spend on defense. Germany's government is smaller than ours per capita--German government workers are a smaller percentage of the German population than federal workers are of the U.S. population.

I'll gladly trade you "free" education in exchange for reducing our corporate income tax rate by 30%, German-style tort reform, German-style labor reform, and a reduction of the federal workforce down to the German level per capita. Of course, we can't cut our defense spending down to the German level, but we can reform the defense acquisition process, which would save us billions per years.

How do you explain this?

German education is obviously better than American. First of all it has more long history and tradition. Moreover it attracts more student around the world. The amount of taxes do not play decisive role IMHO.
