The Dutch pay 36 to 52% income tax for this? Man, I'm so glad I'm not Dutch. European governments are next level bullshit.

37% income tax, plus 21% VAT. So that is 48% effectively. And that is from the lower bracket...

Absolutely disgusting. And on top of that, I've heard the gas price is nearly $7 a gallon over there, possibly the highest in the world?

It is pretty high there. I had to look it up. It is 7.3! The fourth highest in the world!

even higher. One Litre petrol is 1.74Euro = 2.21 USD today so around 8.48 USD for a Gallon. Diesel is around 40 cents cheaper per Litre only diesel cars are made expensive with tax laws.

Gas is expensive but keep in mind that it's also a tiny country.
