Most economically liberal country in Europe?

[??????????]

Are you proud to live in this countries that steal so much of your hard earned money.

Yes.
I get 35 days paid holiday a year, free health care, paid sick leave and work a 39 hour week. Plus I live in a country with the best comedy and music in the world, lovely country pubs and picturesque villages. Not to mention the best city in the world (London).
The only downers to life in Britain is rain, the class system and yobs.

I get 33 days paid holiday a year (two weeks vacation, two weeks Christmas Bonus and five holiday days, whether I work them or not), I get 12 days of paid sick leave a year, full pay. I work a four days a week with a average of 42 hours. My healthcare costs 50 a week for my whole family and I make 35k a year. I think we are comparable. Maybe you make more then me, I imagine you do cause I think I'm the poorest forumite here. And we have warm weather year round to boot..so .

Actually, in dollars, I too make about 35k a year. Sounds like we're quite similar. I concede however that the weather in Florida is far superior to Northern England!
A heatwave here is a week in the high 70's Farenheit!
The thing I love most about Britain are the hundreds of cosy picture-postcard villages, with thatched roofs and warm pubs with roaring fires.

I like that about England. I wouldn't mind living in England or Ireland.

You tax percent in Finland were roughly 30-35. How much it is in America?

My tax is 10%.

I only get 10 days paid vacation and I haven't really taken it ...and I worked close to 50 hours this week, it varies from 40-50.   They offered me real basic insurance but I refused to take it because I didn't think they could afford it.  And I'm in a good bit lower tax bracket than you folks.  I need to get whatever jobs you people have

You don't want my job...trust me.

Okey. I surrender. You won.

But I have to check it again. I didn't calculate an exchange rate very accurately. I only counted that 35k dollars is 35K euros. The exchange rate was that about years ago, but has changed since. But I'm pretty sure that in Finland you tax percent wouldn't be lower than 25. We should also notice that costs of living and wages aren't same in Finland and Florida.

How much does it cost to buy a house in a relatively populated part of Finland?

Thank you - yes, I've been there before now I see it. I'm afraid I can't fill it in because the statements are not very well qualified or too restrictive ;(

Your views may not be popular with a few but they agree with mine almost 95%.

How can your tax only be 10%?  Are you counting payroll taxes?  I'm sure the tax rate Huck Finn is quoting also includes whatever their Social Security equivalent is.

I fall in the 10% tax bracket on my income tax return.
