In the UK National Insurance covered a multitude of things, including but not limited to Health benefits and Pensions. I used to pay around £650.00 a month 20 years ago when i lived there. That equates to around $1100.00 a month.
Also note that gas has a 60% tax, some of which was supposed to go towards the health system?
VAT ( sales tax ) or the tax paid on almost every item purchased in the UK is now 20% . 20 years ago it was 15%.. Imagine the tax on a new car !!!!!!!!!!
Im so glad i moved to the USA
