Imagine thinking there is no corruption up there, or no taxes down there

I live in high taxes high corruption part of it

The corruption is a lovely place to holiday in though

Lol, imagine being so naive (or dense) you think these two things can exist without each other.

My country has made it! We're now taxes and not corruption! 🎉

Or go to Britain and get both

Why not both?

Flatten that circle into Russia and you basically have the line between Butter Europe and Olive Oil Europe.

Man these Texas is big jokes are getting out of hand

Reads meme again

Oh right…

Politicians in Germany are corrupt as fuck tho.

At least places with taxes have:

• a functioning health care system,
• actual mental health system, not just suggestions from politicians to "go to a church instead";
• job options for the disabled that aren't either a brutally underpaid communal work program, or taken out from some frat boy politician's favorite r*t*rd joke, who also think people in wheelchair are just "too dumb to even stand up", and autistic people are "just intellectual r*t*rds, whose moms slept with their teachers to not get transferred to special ed".

Shitpost ≠ shitty post

UK is in which zone ... ?

Slovakia has both taxes and corruption. Yay.

Taxes. Because I have a brain and understand how a civil, functioning society, works.

Taxes for certain

This is extremely accurate based on my 25 years of working in CEE.

Thanks to American Exceptionalism we have both.

Redditor trying new grounds…

I'm actually wondering how much of this has to do with the climate, i.e. the physical weather patterns. something like: living in northern countries historically meant that you had a tougher time getting through the winter, because the winters are harsher and longer, so you need to store more food and make sure it doesn't spoil, which requires extra planning. so as a historical consequence, northern countries end up with a higher degree of organization, including bigger states, more organized tax systems, overall more organized structures.

You can see many examples of this. all big empires historically have had their center on the northern hemisphere, including england, US, europe, USSR, china. there's (almost) none on the south.

This site is genuinely moronic

Moronic post.

I'd say Germany does not have high taxes IF YOU ARE RICH. Also Germany has lots oft corruption, in my opinion, most oft it is not seen by many people.

That's cute.
Now add Gibraltar to the map.

Ah, a distinction without a difference
