Labor loves tax

[stui magpie]

Following on from my earlier post in response to David's link comparing taxes across the OECD, people in France are still protesting against the government proposing to raise the retirement age.

Understandable. You pay all that social security tax in the expectation that you get a generous government pension when you retire, then they want to make you wait longer. It's basically a government run defined benefit super scheme, when we largely ditched those decades ago as being inefficient.

Mind you, the French seem to love a protest.
