Sorry that I can't entertain your baseless moaning and accusations further. Bring up something where you think I lied and we can talk. In case you are referring to a post days ago where I joked that every poll states that Democrat leaning voters are on average more intelligent than Republican leaning ones then I thought it was obvious it was a joke, though the point on iq is most likely accurate.
You're making up sh!t again. You know everyone pays sales tax, however not everyone pays income tax. In the US about 47 million do not pay income tax. Just google german sales tax, here's what came up. The rate of value-added tax rate generally in force in Germany is 19%. A reduced tax rate of 7% applies e.g. on sales of certain foods, books and magazines, flowers and transports. Value added tax. The value added tax (mervärdesskatt or moms) rate in Sweden is 25%, with exceptions for food and services like hotel room rental fees (12%), and for sales of publications, admission tickets to cultural events and travel within Sweden (6%). As for Individual max income tax, checkout for yourself. USA is lower than sweden and canada. Mortgage interest paid is not tax deductible. The left just keeps on making up sh!t...
You are twisting the truth here my friend. I never talked about sales tax. I talked about income and corporate taxes. Sales tax is irrelevant as long as the final price of products and services is affordable. Most any item in Germany is way cheaper than in the US. Why do you think Lidl and Aldi killed Tesco big time and why they are now threatening even Walmart in the US. Why would any German care about sales taxes when their products and any retail consumer items are even cheaper (POST TAX) than in Spain, Greece or Italy? Consumers don't even see sales tax posted in stores. There is only one net price and that is what consumers pay and that price is on average cheaper than anything you see in the US or Canada or elsewhere. In fact most items are even cheaper in Germany than in Philippines or Vietnam or Thailand or China. Wanna buy shoes in a normal mall in the China? For the same price you pay there you get a handmade, 100% leather pair in Germany. Biggest reason for that is that Germans are not buying into the stupid Saxon brand marketing machine because consumers in Germany prefer quality over brand names. You are talking out of your ass here. Furthermore Scandinavia is not just Sweden or Norway. You should include Denmark and Finland as well. But let's stick with Japan and Germany as their economies and scale is more comparable with the one in the US. Norway for example has higher taxes but subsidizes almost anything else for its people. Fact remains that the all in income tax in Japan and Germany is lower than in the US. There are examples of leading economies that maintain an affordable tax base while still providing quality services like Healthcare and education to its citizens. The problem in the US is that a mafia like minority controls all the corporate and political levers in the US and brainwashed people that one can only have either, high taxes and better basic services (something Republicans hate) or lower taxes and a shit basic care system (something Democrats hate). The few in control of everything in your country conveniently omit that you can have reasonable taxes AND a high quality and affordable educational system and health care and welfare system. Germany and a number other countries are the prime example. Look which jobs the powerful Jewish lobby in the US hedge hogs and you know immediately why they have a strong interest in keeping everyone brainwashed and why they actually delight in operating in an utterly divided country. It benefits them but destroys the rest of the people. Freedom of speech? Don't make me laugh. Anyone who dares say the slightest critical words about Jews will be hammered on the cross and made mouth dead. Awesome freedom of speech. The sadest thing is that many Republican Christians are too stupid to realize they are instrumentalized and used for the benefit of a few on the top. That is America's reality today and has been in the past decades. PS of course it will only be a matter of minutes or hours before I will be confronted with Germany's dark 30 years while of course the same people omit it has been one of the most peaceful and rational and democratic nation in the world 75 years after that and that it has brought more than most other countries advances and inventions to the world over hundreds of years before the 20th century arrived.

We're talking about tax! As you should know, approximately 47+ million do not pay USA income. However, sales tax exist for everyone. But you're a typical liberal. Double check country income tax rates here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_rates
Can you tell us what the point is to argue with you? Each and every single time you go off topic. And quite unrelated. And yes I pay close to zero percent income tax because I don't pay myself much income. All capital gains are accumulated in my HK entity.
Lol, your comments on USA have no merit what so ever. Read the link and you'll see which country pays higher tax. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_rates Are you familiar with Mark Twain?
