Hah. So you don't believe in the Scandi high-tax economy, or the Dutch one?
Resentment of taxation is a perquisite of the rich, overwhelmingly. In fact, most people who are not rich pay reasonable rates of taxation except they pay far more percentage of their income as VAT/consumption taxes, which is of course nothing like 50%
"nineteen for you and one for me" was George Harrison whining about super tax in the 60s. This isn't new.
