Tax in Britain averages around 40% per person. I think it's daylight robbery but its amazing how many people here would happily have higher taxes.
The state budget is getting into difficult times so it seems inevitable that the government is going to have to borrow more or tax more (heaven forbid they should actually make themselves more efficient/cut back costs)
I'm strongly tempted to leave the country as I don't see the incentive to succeed in life when so much of your income is taken from you.
