Same boat here in Belgium. My taxes pay for lots of peoples kids (none myself) and was told that’s one of the perks of living here. As a single childless person - the taxes are brutal.

I’ve wanted to ask this question before because not all of us want to live in these places with high taxation. Some of us would love to have savings. Or own a house.

These people downvoting you and OP are those basement dwellers who get rock hard off righteousness.
