      I tend to exaggerate, but my actual income is just under €12,000 a year. Adult german but can’t work full time for health reasons. But even with a average income here you would rarely go over 25.000€, which is still a joke in comparison what this guy makes.

                True. I grew up in the Netherlands where things are similar but now live in New Zealand. The highest tax bracket in NZ is the lowest tax bracket in the Netherlands.

                It will be very difficult for me to go back and pay huge taxes again, knowing that despite the taxes healthcare isn’t free there and corporations getting so many tax incentives. it feels like the burden is unfairly placed on individuals.

          Here’s the summary for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

          This is the map and list of European countries by monthly average wage (annual divided by 12 months) gross and net income (after taxes) average wages for full-time employees in their local currency and in euros. The chart below reflects the average (mean) wage as reported by various data providers. The salary distribution is right-skewed, therefore more than 50% of people earn less than the average gross salary. Thus, the median figures provided further below might be more representative than averages. These figures will shrink after income tax is applied. In certain countries, actual incomes may exceed those listed in the table due to the existence of grey economies. In some countries, social security, contributions for pensions, public schools, and health are included in these taxes.
