it works here.. it really does. as for income tax.. I personally pay 38%.. but some people can pay up to 60% of their wages, but thats not just for a free healthcare service.. thats for a great social welfare system over all that works!
Thanks, AR
I know, in the past, I've gasped at the amount of your taxes.
But, like I said, that amount still isn't as high as what I would pay for me and my spouse for a co-pay private insurance...
