You know what, yeah, I will, in exchange for EU citizenship and it must be fully financed so we have available the best weaponry money can buy (and a written contract that has a big payout for my parents if I die in combat)

20% extra tax doesn't seem that high a price for not being sent to fight in a war

But you do get decent healthcare without the risk of bankruptcy.

>any kind of respectable wage taxed at over 50% with rent being over half of your post-tax earnings.

What sort of easily-disprovable horseshit is this?

https://www.economie.gouv.fr/particuliers/impots-et-fiscalit...

Income 11k-30k taxed at 11%, 30k-80k at 30%.

80k puts you in the top 5% of wage earners.

If you are spending an amount which rounds to zero on world-class healthcare, all of a sudden rent being even half your post-tax income (which would indicate you are living near the edge of your means, if not beyond) isn't so bad.
