How high a tax rate is tax you to death? Because I think you should be glad you aren't living in Scandinavia if you are afraid of being taxed to death. Here in Denmark if you make more than about 90 000 $ a year you will have to pay something like 60% in direct taxes and after indirect taxes you probably end up having paid something like 75-80% in taxes... Though the conservatives and the liberal alliance wants to lower the taxes for the highest incomes; they are just the only ones who want to and they don't have a majority
Pfff... Communists!
