It's ironic that the countries with the highest taxes in Europe also have the highest happiness Index. High taxes ≠ low happiness. Often, it’s the opposite. Look at the data: 🇫🇮 Finland — 57.3% tax rate → #1 happiest country 🇩🇰 Denmark — 55.9% → #2 🇸🇪 Sweden — 52.3% → #4 🇮🇸 Iceland — 46.25% → #3 🇳🇱 Netherlands — 49.5% → #6 🇳🇴 Norway — 39.6% → #7 These countries have some of the highest personal tax rates in Europe and top global happiness scores. Why? Because taxes fund things people actually value: → Healthcare → Education → Safety nets → Trust in institutions People don’t just want low taxes. They want a life that feels secure, fair, and meaningful.

It’s truly unfortunate that a portion of the American population can’t understand this and refuse to even try. Quality of life could and should be better here. Good cast 50 $degen
