The richest 1% in the Netherlands pay relatively less tax than everyone else and their incomes have risen more sharply, according to new calculations by the government’s macro-economic forecasting agency CPB.

No one is confused about what you are talking about: we all know you can’t talk about the bad in any country (at least in the EU) without at least shitting on the US too. It’s just a lot of other people are just like you.

Too much Taco Bell I’m assuming
Since they currently can’t seem to tell the difference between one country and two countries, I’m thinking more like tequila.
