| Yes but in the UK for example you pay 33% tax.
Then a pension, council tax and if you have private health care, that goes on as well.
So the 33% tax goes up to over 50% of your income. | |

Ha, 33% - I wish. Where the UK salaries compare to here (in the City of London), you would be paying a minimum of 40% base tax plus NI, etc - this normally comes out to about 50-60% stoppages. Then either your cost of living is really high or your commute cost is high (in time and money).
Been there, done that and hated every minute of it.
