Thanks, Unc!
Yeah, 24% is what it takes to run an oil-rich welfare state with 4 million inhabitants, where gasalready cost $6 per gallon.
Property tax isn't too bad, I think, income tax is usually around 30-35%.
We pay a lot of taxes and fees and daycare is expensive and hard to get (even though it's public).
But...in SWEDEN they have 25% sales tax so we beat them, at least.
