    It’s a lot like that in Belgium and yet people still complain.

      Have you ever heard someone speaking French who didn’t list “complaining about stuff” as their number 1 hobby?

      Complain about taxes or the tax agency? Sadly, many people in Sweden are complaining about taxes, but the tax agency is still pretty well respected.
