Why is Europe expensive despite having low salaries?

[Anonymous No.55341254]

Eurocucks have very low salaries for white collar positions, doctors make 100k or less, software engineers make 30-50k USD, lawyers make 60-80k, etc while in the USA we make 2-5x as much per year. Despite this the cost of a property in Europe is still very high, easily 700k-1M or more in a city, rent is high, hotels are the same as in US, etc.

Why is this?

Its because people talk in net income since their gross income is taxed over 60% up to 80% depending on the country. Most of people don't even know that they just know the taxes they do have to declare but don't know the taxes your employer pays for you with your own money ( on paper it isn't yours he generously pays it out of his pocket lmao).
Gross income is lower than US but not that much (in scandi, ger, fra, Bel, eng,,)

Because we have permits for anything, and salaries are really not the biggest issue why prices are high.

taxation and regulation is invasive, take for example taxi services where i live, in italy, we have an undersupply of taxi drivers because you need 100k euros of licence if you want to be a taxi driver. So we have high prices for that and often lack of services if the demand increases.

It's a legal monopoly problem you could solve with a free market, but i warn you, if you dare to solve the problem get ready to face thousands of taxi drivers who paid a lot of money for a privileged monopolized job that will not hesitate to flay you alive.

this is indeed an absolute disaster that most wagies dont even know about, but your real tax rate can indeed approach 80%, its just they hid it with employer taxes, so the wagie gets his wage document and it shows his gross income and the 50% taxes that goes of it, but on top of that the employer has to pay a 30% tax for the privilege of employing the wagie that the wagie never hears of

Because the cost of living is way lower and you get a fuckload of free social/health benefits just for being alive lmao.
I got braces entirely for free. I go to my dentist to check and clean my teeth every 3-4 months for free. I broke my arm downhill mountainbiking and I got it fixed for free. Basically can go live life without any fear of risking/failure since a whatever injury won't take a penny out of my pocket.

Uni is also almost entirely free as opposed to the huge student loans in the US. Public transport during high school and uni as well free, and subsidized laughably cheap quality cooked meals every single day. Went to uni and not only was in zero debt but I also part time worked so I was actually in nothing but profit after uni. Absolutely nothing to pay off, bought me a car and continued on working after uni I repeat with ZERO debt of any kind ever. And I don't even use my car that much except for weekend trips since almost everything I need is a mere walk away from me, while in the US you're effectively dead without a car.
Basically close to no things to worry about in day to day basis since I was a kid and my parents are lower middle class working people.

Europe is good for the already rich. I'm in Belgium and it's 0% tax on investment (compared to 33% on speculation). What constitutes investing is to the judgment of local IRS but it's pretty safe for small rich people. Same for crypto. As long as you don't swing hard or scalp you're safe.
What's funny about those hidden taxes is that factory wagies ask for them themselves. I remember it from school, they explained because retard wagies didn't want to bother to pay taxes themselves they voted for the employer to take the responsibility that's why the employer pays almost all taxes for you even the ones that are yours on paper. Decades later they forgot how it works and are happy that they can't invest it short term for some apy before paying taxes. Truly the definition of you vill own nozing and vill be happy.

if your crypto investment exceeds 20% of your net worth it is considered speculation and taxed at the 1/3rd level
however thanks to the retarded way our tax system is made you dont really have an obligation to report your gains so you can get away with it as long as you arent audited
but in any case get ready to move to dubai in 2025
