Do you know what the price per gallon is here in Greece and Europe?
1.5 EU per litter
That means, 1 US gallon = 3.78 litters X 1.5EU = 5.67EU Per Gallon
1EU = $1.35
5.67EU X 1.35 = 7.65
So we are paying $7.65 per gallon for regular gasoline!
And yes, everyone has a car, many have two and three, see how rich we are? With borrowed money.
I would like to get a donkey but I can't find any for sale
Did I mention a 10% sales tax on food and clothing and a 21% sales tax on everything else including gasoline?
in fact, gasoline real cost is something like 35cents per litter, then at the refinery they put a tax and it becomes 1.20, then at the pump they put the sales tax on the whole price, meaning they tax the tax they took at the refinery stage and it becomes 1.50eu per litter.
We're expecting now to tax breathing, each breath will be taxed at the bargain rate of 0.00009 eu, and if you stop breathing your family will pay a 21% tax to have you planted for two years + rent for the space, and then a green tax to throw yer bones in the garbage and get your misery over for good.
And people say they wouldn't mind all that if the taxes they were paying actually went for services they receive... most of it is thrown into a big black hole and on interest paid for the money owed by the gov..
