Spanish € shitcoin series:
The Spanish gov do not want the slaves to know how much they are paying in taxes. Currently, in Spain most of the direct taxes are deducted from the salary, that the company you are working on has to silently pay for you to the gov. This is a trick made by the gov so common people don't have a glue what they are paying. In addition to this, many other taxes are hidden, like 21% VAT, oil taxes (up to 70% of the price), and many others. In the end, spaniards are paying near 75% of what they earn in taxes, but the gov doesn't want the people to know it.
Recently, the head of the empresarial association in Spain suggested that the companies should pay the entire salary to the workers, and then the gov can directly take it from the workers themselves. But then the communist gov wanted the head of this man, just for suggesting such a "blasphemy" to the socialist status quo in Spain.
The video is in Spanish but I believe you can turn on subtitles in English.

This is the ultimate level of stealing your money. Even in India, the government deducts a % of salary directly on the name of pre filing. What's that pre filing shit? Why is the government so impatient, don't believe the workers to pay yearly? All the workers a.k.a. slaves give away the portion so willingly.
What slaves don't understand is that they are the reason of this slavery. They like it and in fact they have no will power left to even raise questions.
Thank God and Bitcoin that I'm Outta that shit slavery. I have chosen freedom and I wish everyone had till now. But, I highly hope that everyone will in the next generations.

That's right. There are two reasons why they do enforce the taxes to the companies and not the workers:
  • Because many workers won't pay anything and will put the excuse they don't have money.
  • Because companies have a lot more to lose if they don't pay.

That's what happened with gas taxes here in the states. Initially, they showed the pretax prices and then added on the gas tax. My understanding is that people were so pissed about the gas taxes that the policy changed to make gas stations incorporate them into the posted prices.
I know China does something similar to what you're describing in Spain. Chinese people generally have no idea how much they're paying in taxes.

A really good thing that Canada does is charge sales tax separately. All prices are pre-tax, and you see the tax clearly added to your bill every time.
Gas taxes are hidden... and they're huge.

America's the same way.
In Belize, a restaurant we went to said "tax extorted" on that line of the bill.

I know that France is a democracy. But I didn't know this. This is absolute dishonesty to the principles of people's government. It is more like government's people.

They need to mind their business and create something of value for their country instead of taking everyone else’s money.

Besides the fact that most of what we pay in electricity is taxed too, I didn't expect to see a video of the great Juan Ramón Rallo here on SN! Thanks for sharing, I'll check it out.

There is a book I’ve been recommended Taxtopia about “ a rogue accountant breaks ranks to share his journey from clueless naïf to skilled tax consultant -and in doing so blows the lid on the murky world of making the tax burdens of the ultra-wealthy disappear.
In the topsy-turvy world of tax avoidance, you can get richer by buying a yacht, the world's biggest exporter of coffee is Switzerland, and billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Donald Trump and the Duke of Westminster often pay less tax than you do.
If you suspect that tax is a rigged game, a con, designed to fleece the little guy, you are about to find out just how shockingly true that really is.” https://www.amazon.co.uk/TAXTOPIA-Discovered-Injustices-Secrets-Evasion-ebook/dp/B0B2VQSDXZ

Are there some good and trustworthy resources that show the total tax burden (incl. hidden taxes) for all countries?

France does exactly the same, 50% of the worker's salary goes straight to the government to fund social programs (i.e., somebody making 3k euros costs 6k to its employer). Then, on what's left of the salary people have to pay income tax (with inflation making it easy to reach the 30-40% brackets now), sales tax, property tax, local tax, capital gain tax, wealth tax and some more tax when you die. So yeah 75-90% taxation is probably the right range of what productive people pay to the government

I am sorry but this is pretty much everywhere in Europe. Maybe everywhere in the world? I am not saying it should be like that. But I don’t see any argument in your post to support your claim. So how exactly is the Spanish government hiding this from people?
