> A single 30 year old (average age of HNers?) earning €100K will receive €58,869 after all the income taxes

I just put it into the calculator and the number for 2015 is: 59,019

This results in an effective tax rate of 40% approximately (this is with a property tax and water tax)

The Property tax being so low is one of the causes of the housing bubble. And some people blow their (yearly) water tax on a night at the pub.

And believe me income taxes are not that much better in other places (or there are other issues)

Yeah, healthcare could be better, but it's not a big issue (as opposed to something like the USA)
