It seems to me that it’s an American thing to complain about taxes in the European Union.

I mean I’m sure Europeans complain about paying taxes in their home countries just like Americans do. That feels like a human thing. But that’s not what I’m talking about.

By the end of today’s installment, you’ll see what I mean as I—

  • Compare what I pay in taxes in California to what I expect to pay in Spain.

  • Look at it from a couple potential income scenarios.

  • Consider what you get in the EU—specifically Spain—versus what you don’t get in the United States.

  • Approach the discussion from the perspective of having some freaking respect for the place you’re immigrating—and I stress immigrating—to.
