I don't know what country you are from with socialized health care, but I would be willing to bet that you pay more in taxes than I do.



I'm from Norway. In 2006 I worked full-time and payed 25% of my income in taxes. Is that much more than in the US? Of course here you pay more tax the richer you are, and I'm not very rich. I'm happy to pay my share though, and of course I take it for granted that people with more money also should give more to the society.

Still, nobody pay more than 50% in taxes maximum. So it's still plenty of room to get rich and follow your dreams. I don't know about you, but I think a guy earning $1.000.000 a year would have plenty of money left to spend on fun after paying his taxes.
