France is X 1.79 higher for single than the us and X 3.50 higher for married with 2 kids.
Those are of course rounded to 2 places.

And I thought you were an accountant not a GED :D


Of course if you are figuring on health care stuff. You would have to add most of what individuals pay for health care and insurance in the USA (currently about 20%) into the tax rate since the health care is pretty much paid for in France.

Also to figure in the tax rate comparison. Does France pay 13% or so for Social Security or is that included in their tax rate? Those pesky deductions for Medicare?

Oversimplification leads to misleading results.
 
the tax burden chart is income, social security and other payroll.
so I'm assuming all but sales tax.

For a self-proclaimed college boy you sure know how to make a simple table nearly unintelligible. Couldn't you put these in some kind of order? *shrug*
 
copy and paste tool
the first number is single the second is married
You should read the link, plenty of ammo to slam libtards loving up on Eurpope without telling us that they pay a ginourmously higher tax burden.

Great so you can control C and V. Why don't you learn how to place in columns and sort? It's not all that complicated and makes it easy for the reader, something a good writer should strive for. *shrug*

I don't strive to even do that on my job, I'm certainly not going to do it to dress up a post that I made while goofing off at work. :clink:

If you stopped goofing off and strove to be more clear you might improve your earning potential. *shrug*

I took you for a young dude with the excuse of inexperience for stupidity. If you're old then what's your possible excuse?
