I might travel someday over there, but it might be a bit to cold for me, I normally like it between 80-95 degrees in the day and about 75-80 at night. I have been thinking about Barbados, but will check that out more while I am in FL. Are the Taxes not really high in the EU that what I hear anyway. The Gov wants to much of my money as it is now, as I recall Barbados does not have any income tax at all :)
Well I always say they should take all the money we earn and give away food tickets to trade and barder...
LOL communism does live :) Thats really scarry man dont say that suff, how many hambergers you think I could get for acess to me adult sites? :hmmph:
a value meal at MickyD's is about €5 - makes it $6 - so, now you do the math :D
movie theater ticket between €4.5 to 7.5 (if it is a looong movie add another 0.5 to 1 €)
Diesel €1.14, Gasoline about €1.35 per Liter (1 l = 0.264 US gallons, 1 gallon = 3.7 liter --> 1 gallon gasoline here in germany is about $5)
1 liter of milk is about 55 euro-cent
cant come up with more prices - if someone wants to know just holler :D

so $1.17 is the gas and $3.73 is tax :D we still pay taxes for our cars so we may drive, insurances, tax on both...

Just because I live some place dose not mean I should have to pay most of my income too the authorities just to make it and not go to jail. The whole thing is ridicules, I just wish people would be less hostile to one another so we would not need all the Gov BS, but I do live in a fantasy land sometimes. :sun:

i's somewhat close to 50%, yes - 45 to 47% is the HIGHEST rated they deduct from paycheques - less if you earn less - its made with tax-inclines
I know it ruff at first but from my experience the more open the market, and the less taxes the better for all the people in the long run, just look at CA and TX what’s the big difference between the 2. Its the Taxes and the almost non extent restrictions on companies. I see the point that people want to make they have to protect all these mom and pop stores, but in the end protectionism and high taxes to make a more level playing field does nothing but hurt everyone.
