alt Hacker NewsIf you get EU citizenship in western EU countries and survive you’re signing up for having any kind of respectable wage taxed at over 50% with rent being over half of your post-tax earnings. Be careful what you wish for. You are better off settling in and/or fighting in Ukraine where my understanding is that at least taxes are much lower.

But you do get decent healthcare without the risk of bankruptcy.

What sort of easily-disprovable horseshit is this?

Income 11k-30k taxed at 11%, 30k-80k at 30%.
80k puts you in the top 5% of wage earners.
If you are spending an amount which rounds to zero on world-class healthcare, all of a sudden rent being even half your post-tax income (which would indicate you are living near the edge of your means, if not beyond) isn't so bad.
20% extra tax doesn't seem that high a price for not being sent to fight in a war
