i mean all around, best country to live in. the world.
i feel like the u.s is going to ****.
if you've had any experience living in another country or know anything about any different countries then give me some explanation. thanks.
Having lived in a number of countries — over 12 years of total foreign residency — I can tell you that if you live in the USA, you're already there!
Americans like to complain about taxes but most Americans are blissfully unaware that they already live in the country with probably the LOWEST total tax burden of ALL major industrialized nations.
Speaking strictly on income taxes at the national level, Ireland and Australia do have lower national income taxes, HOWEVER they more than make up for it with other taxes that put their citizens' total tax burden well ahead of the US. Think $3 to $4 per gallon of gasoline in TAX alone, resulting in pump prices in the $7 to $8 region per gallon! Tack on national sales taxes that typically range from 15% to 25% and most other countries have MUCH higher total tax burdens than Americans ever need to fear.
You can easily find many countries with lower total tax burdens, however you might not want to live there. Mexico's taxes are quite a bit lower than the US, but the standard of living in Mexico reflects that quite clearly. Most Islamic nations have extremely low taxes. That's fine, IF you want to live in an intolerant religious dictatorship. Direct taxes in Monaco are very low, but unless you have a net worth on the sunny side of $10,000,000 they really are not interested in having you live there and you probably couldn't afford to with a net worth much less than that anyway.
What are the best countries in europe to live in out of theses places?
Look at the big picture, not just at Federal tax. Take into acount sales, value added, property, excise and other taxes. You will find that the US is pretty much in the middle.
Then, look at what you get for your tax dollars. You make a good point that it FEELS like the US is on its way into the toilet. You forget, however that the Quadrennial revolution, with its emotionally restorative effect is just months away.
While it may take a while to reverse the effects of the current regime in Washington, I'll wager things will start feeling better by the 2nd week in November.

Americans are still the lowest taxed compared to Europe, Canada…etc. Even if you live in another country you would have to go through the citizenship process and until you get that taken care of you'll still be paying American taxes on your income. Maybe Mexico?? The thing is, the grass is always greener. Why do you think so many people from all over the world are constantly trying to immigrate to the USA?
