now you're just lying, blatantly. My point was about the degree of taxation.

  Do you not live in a parliamentary democracy with regular elections?

    I live in France, which I'm not sure if you paying attention to it (no judgement, why would you), but as a country, they're somewhat financially screwed, so whether or not there are elections, or even if the people have representation, something needs to be done, and it will likely involve higher taxation and cost of living generally.

      Ok fair, France has been a disaster lately. However, it's actually more that as a country, you'll need to figure out coalitions as it looks pretty evenly split three ways. If it's any consolation, I probably pay similar tax rates to France, and get way worse services.
