A horrible regressive tax that should be abolished, as should be the "news" and entertainment it pays for, but it's not very relevant cost for someone one who makes close to 100k.

Is there any news source you wouldn't call propaganda?

Same in Denmark, and it really boils my piss. DR (Danmarks Radio) is 80% trash. If I was dictator in Denmark I would abolish it on the spot. I won't deny that DR produces things that are not trash or only mildly trash, but I have no interest in it. People who want it can fund it themselves. State financed reality TV is an abomination.

And if we are comparing USA vs Germany, taxes to gas (car fuel) which is much more expensive in the EU, because of taxes.
