Sure, I get that. I just wonder if the alternative is a system similar to the US. Comparatively low deductions, but god help you if you actually end up getting unemployed / have to have surgery.

no i definately don't want that. i would support a lower tax rate as well as some cuts to insurances, 15,2 % minimum just for insurances seem very high. especially since the lowest tax rate (income between 10 and 25k p.a.) is at 36% or so. but i also think for employers it's quite tough to hire people at the moment, our economy is largely based on small to medium sized buissnesses
