How Many times do people here have to say it,its not all black and white what You say.
Prizes in the states are NOT including tax,you see the prize before tax,while in Europe all prizes include tax.
And then there's import tax.
I agree in the end we pay more here in Europe but its not as bad as some people believe it to be.
There's probably other reasons as well,maybe (shop) employees get paid more here than in the states??
EDIT:And yes,We pay more gst here,probably double or more but We have much better and cheaper public healthcare here![]()
Yes I could buy a few iMac's a year with the amount I pay in healthcare over the amount you pay.
