Taxes are porportional to income, and are everywhere; they are higher in many places.
I feel very fortunate to live in a country where everyone is entitled to the same level of a basic human right, and where one's income does not dictate whether or not they live or die.
We have a wonderful social safety net to catch the unfortunate. Yes, it gets abused sometimes, but blame the abusers, not the system itself. I'm glad that it's there, regardless.
Peace of mind is priceless.
