But the US is 300 times bigger than other countries, therefor our percentage is actually 7800% making it the highest in the world.

naturalnines275 · 1d
Wow. Hey, let's all give OP a second chance to figure out why "tax rates" and "tax revenue as percentage of GDP" can be different? Or should we just start calling him retarded now?

@naturalnines as far as i know. It isnt number 1 in "tax rates" so. Whatever. (Sry for bad english)
ctmnine087 · 18h
Americans are afraid of paying taxes, so they think it's ok for the super rich to not pay them, thinking it will eventually benefit everyone. But complain about the cost of education and healthcare while paying more taxes would be the solution.
xcco4 · 17h
@ctmnine0 Raising taxes isn't always the answer. Lowering traces isn't always the answer. There is a sweet spot, it is obviously impossible to know it exactly, that nations should reach in tax rates. That's why it is stupid that party lines are divided on raising and lowering taxes. This sweet spot changes with the economy and many other factors. We should not be hard set on one direction or the other.
pleez_hulp38 · 16h
Typical, something Trump said was was taken out of context. He was talking about corporate income tax... the U.S. ranks 3rd highest taxed worldwide.

@nevew It is actually possible to have to pay up to about 58% in taxes in Denmark.. But we are happy because we pay taxes.. It gives a lot of social security, healthcare benefits, free education and so on..

melhof963 · 14h
I live in Denmark - I pay 39%, which is normal. It depends on your income. If you pay 'too much' tax throughout the year, you get that money back.

@melhof96 I too live in Denmark, and my tax-rate is around 47%.. Though I do not know how much and average/normal tax-rate is.
fulmetalalcohol3 · 13h
Yeah in Germany you can end up paying more than 50%
blackbunny30010h
@fulmetalalcohol Sure you can but remember....in the other countries you can get to about 60%
godofwineantits1 · 44m
Hes talking about corporate taxes I assume. You also have to remember that most americans actually pay over 50% in taxes at the end of the day, we are taxed several times and in several ways. 26% if Just ONE of those ways.
For instance at my income, 66 cents of every dollar earned goes to the government.
753396720m
@godofwineantits It's impossible. Highest tax bracket is only 40% Federal +13% State Tax. That's 13% short of 66%. Social Security only taxes the first 120,000 of your income and if you're in the 40% Federal Tax bracket, it will at most be 4% of your income. 4% assumes that you are self employed otherwise your employer pays half and it will only be 2%. Add 5% instead of 1.5% Medicare assuming that you pay the 0.9% high wage earner tax and double that for being self employed.
That's only 63% although state tax is deductible so it's probably less than that.

As a Quebecer (in Canada), we pay about 50% all in total (it's quite complicated, you can deduct alot of things but last time I checked I had to pay 49.2% of my income in provincial+federal tax). Yeah, it sucks, but you know what; I like to know that if I have an accident on my bike on my way to work I won't pay a dime for any treatment I need. I like to know that my patients (I'm a pharmacist), can get their drugs at a low price. I like to know that lower income families can send their kids to day care at a very low price. Basically I don't mind paying taxes knowing I live in a much more fair society. And that is not even as an altruiste. Better healthecare and social services means I don't have parts of the city that are shit and I should be scared to walk in. Anyways my 2 cents on the whole; it's my money, keep your hands off it.
753396731m
@duffexport We pay as much tax in the US, we just spend it on the military instead of healthcare..... I only earn 65k a year and pay ~40% tax (25% Federal, 5.3% Provincial, 1.5 Medicare, 6.2 Social Security). It could go up to 60% if you are in the highest tax bracket for Federal and Provincial State Tax.
nizarzarif2h
US has an increasing tax braket based on income. So the higher income you make the higher percentage of taxes you have to pay. i think it goes up to 50% if you are maklng more than a million dollars per yer

elitewolverine1 · 18h
@the_wh1te_w0lf Considering they are responsible for 80% of the tax revenue...sure any tax break would directly affect them. As well a poor family will never pay a dime in fed taxes, in fact the rich person has to pay for them through a tax refund which is literally redistribution of wealth to make up the fact they made so little.
blorpington3 · 18h
You're not taking gdp into account. Your rates may be higher, but it still doesn't amount to our cumulative total.
rickyjakobsen2 · 11h
@blorpington But what value does that info have? Your spending also increase, so you NEED to also "pay more".
Way easier to comprehend how much each individual pay, because that's what matters. If you take a single city with 7 million people, their tax would have to be more, then the 7 mil there's in Denmark - because spending on education, healthcare and so on, has to match the amount of people, and can't do that, if you look at what EVERYONE contributes as a total, and then look at what every individual would cost to educate and so on..
If you did, u muricans should be able to see, you're paying very little tax, compared to everyone else.

You're a big country with a lot of people, of cause you out earn Denmark, BUT you can't pay for education and so on, if you think out earning 7 million people, is a good measurement of how much is "high taxes"

duvetkem1 · 33m
The US tax levels are actually very very average, but in comparison to countries like Norway and Denmark they are quite low. Because of the multi level taxation these countries have it is much safer to implement social programs because you see a much higher rate of return through taxation, where as the US will bleed straight 75% of the social investment, Norway sees somewhere around 60 - 70% return through taxes, while the rest stimulates the economy and not so much actually leaves the country.
