Some of the taxes are really ridiculous in Europe as compared to in most Asian countries.
If a man is earning usd$ 1000 per month he's not liable to pay taxes, even if he might slightly exceed it then perhaps only 1% is taxed.
And if he's making usd $5000/month then he only gets taxed about 3%.
A dude here only gets taxed really high when his earnings exceeds usd $250,000 per month and that's capped at perhaps 26-28%.
Most of the taxes derived in most Asian countries is from corporate taxes, a good 75% comes from there.
