• In Germany, couples married with children pay 19% less tax
  

 

[Preacher]

In Germany the rate drops from 39.9% to 21.3% because of generous child tax credits


In Germany its a good idea to have kids because you pay less taxes and your taxes in the end pay for YOUR kids education.Its part of being apart of a society...

Great excuse now care to give a real response. See I am getting it. Republicans are selfish pricks that don't want to PAY their part to make sure society is taken care of...that does include them and their children and grandchildren...so they are takers and not givers at all. The people who whine about paying extra aren't paying jack shit!

Meh. At least America doesn't have as many crazed Neo Nazis and homophobes per capita. You can keep 'National Socialist' parties in Germany, hopefully one day Merkel and the rest find a way to shut them all down.

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).

1. Sure it does. With the homophobic posts you made in other threads, I can't believe you aren't pushing NS ideology.
2. Yep a bunch of traitors that worship Hitler and hate the US constitution. Just as NS worship Hitler and betray their own constitution in Germany.

Ok. That explains it. What about the VAT? I have had a big VAT added to things I have purchased in several of these countries. I can reclaim it at the airport by showing my passport when I leave and providing the receipts, but citizens can't do that.
