I don't need to verify BitcoinFreak12's source because I know for a fact that actual taxation rates for the middle class in Western nations exceed 50%, especially in Europe.

the tax list contaigon quoted was bullshit, average taxation of 47,5% in germany?Huh  Cheesy

by chance im living in germany for a long long time now and the max income tax is 45% tax if you earn 250,000+ € per year my friend.
its definitely not the average taxation of a worker in germany.

Looks like the middle class pay 42% just in income taxes:

Social security adds another 20% plus the employer pays 20% (which is the same as the worker is paying because it is taken from cost of employees and thus salaries are lower by 20%):

So that is 82% tax.

Then you can add the 19% VAT:

STOP YOUR BULLSHIT. SOCIALIST PIGS!

Btw, Germany will totally collapse into a heaping pile of rubble in 2015 - 2016. I am going to be laughing at you socialist pigs.

You are the one with the deranged mind.
