Income tax is one thing, social security is another and the taxes your employer pays as business are another. You’re just conflating them all. Some countries have lower social security contributions but have no universal health insurance or you just have to pay out of pocket or it’s tied to your work, etc. It’s not apples to apples
Taxes I agree. They are proportionately larger than in most of the EU, and services worse.
They are actually below average
Services, I guess that’s more a matter of opinion, but having lived in Germany, UK and the US, I think they’re OK
Nobody knows, the new agreement hasn’t been published yet (or at least I can’t find it on the NATO website). What’s on the NATO website is the previous one and the wording is intentionally very vague, as usual in these kinds of treaties so that everyone can keep doing their thing:
Allies whose current proportion of GDP spent on defence is below this level will:
- aim to move towards the 2% guideline within a decade with a view to meeting their NATO Capability Targets and filling NATO’s capability shortfalls. (emphasis mine)
mandatory to spend 2%,
It wasn’t mandatory
What will Ratte call him now to appease him? Will master do the trick?
There’s no appeasing a bully. He’ll come back for more if you give in. And now it seems whatever moronic idea born from his late night twitter mental diarrhea festivals, Ratte is gone eat up. Still, not surprising at all, Ratte was always a rat and a hypocrite
“as secretary general calls him ‘daddy’” Jesus, Ratte give it a rest
Spain almost had the bomb in the 80s but due to US pressure, none were manufactured(some say the CIA had a hand in killing Carrero Blanco who was pushing hard to start manufacturing it as the research was done)
