It maxes out at 45% here. Though that's just income tax and doesn't include
VAT (14%), road tax (I think 5% on all petrol/diesel) and the assorted other
involuntary drains.

Seeing that we don't have free schooling, public hospitals are a mess, the
roads are falling apart and so's the electricity grid, I have no idea where
all that money actually goes.

Welcome to the 3rd world. Where the rich support the politicians' expensive
holidays and mansions and the poor still starve.
