I had to pay radio tax for my car in Italy. The amount you had to pay was based upon the taxable horsepower of your engine. Truly bizarre. Those European governments are pretty creative in finding new ways to confiscate peoples wealth.

When you buy something in a store in Italy, you must keep your receipt. Agents of the Guardia di Finanza can stop you and demand to see your receipt. If you can't produce a receipt, you can be arrested for tax evasion. You've just got to love those European value added taxes...

I can only speak for Germans I knew ( I lived in Germany for two years) they were only happy because of all the drugs and drinking they were doing. Some were happy with the career options selected for them at age twelve. Yes very happy indeed.

>>Oh? One of the ways that people define themselves is by what they do for a living. There are a number of European countries
