These things need to be compared as a package.
Countries impose high taxes in order to raise funds for welfare. Like subsidized school fee, hospitalization, unemployment benefits etc.
Countries that do not impose high taxes will then subsidize these items lesser than those who does. -

Actually I'd rather pay more for TV license if it means good quality programmes like those the BBC makes. But for Singapore I'd somehow doubt you'd get good value for money.Originally posted by Vald:My brother was just telling me about the $280 TV tax he has to pay in UK, among all other taxes. -
