I never looked at the actual rate but I just did my taxes here in the US.

And I was surprised to see that on average I pay almost a net month of salary. ( I pay 10k in 2021 so far, I will get a small return )

While in France, I was paying a month of my salary as well. ( roughly 3k / year )

Listening to French media, I thought I was moving to a tax heaven while going here. Meh. I kinda pay the same thing.

Except I don’t get any benefit and half my salary needs to be stashed away to important, non négociable futur use. ( while that part is done for me in France automatically though socialized taxes )

I understand why you guy don’t like taxes thought : you really don’t get much back.
