I live in the States and [...] I pay ludicrously high taxes because not that I'm starting to earn
I doubt you know what "high taxes" are
An americna complaining about taxes sounds completely retarded for the rest of the world, sorry, no offense intended.
Really? This was marked 'informative'? What is so informative about that? 'Pithy' and 'cute', sure... but informative? Wow.
Regardless of your intention, you are coming off offensive and your point is probably being lost on those that need to hear it most. (Sad face.)
That said, everything is relative. There's absolutely nothing incorrect about an American bitching about high taxes. Or gasoline prices. Or [whatever]. Relative to what Americans know, these are all true and valid grievances. It's like a soldier complaining his arm was blown off in combat... then you come along and smugly point out the fact BOTH of your arms were blown off. Sure, you may be in a worse position, but his complaint is still valid.
FFS, this popular urge to condense down very complex ideas into a pretty soundbite ("I doubt you know what 'high taxes' are. *rimshot*") is part of a much bigger problem re: politics at large.
