Taxes. Because I have a brain and understand how a civil, functioning society, works.

In Hungary, the effective tax rate is ~33%, we also have 27%(!) VAT, but hey, if you're making the grandchildren of Fidesz voters work "real manly job", you can get a 0% tax rate on your business.

The rationale is to "punish not the work but the rich", except the rich gets to skirt around VAT, by having at least one business. Also we literally have the tax system suggested by the Bell Curve authors, to "encourage high-IQ families to make children".

I'd say Germany does not have high taxes IF YOU ARE RICH. Also Germany has lots oft corruption, in my opinion, most oft it is not seen by many people.

I'm actually wondering how much of this has to do with the climate, i.e. the physical weather patterns. something like: living in northern countries historically meant that you had a tougher time getting through the winter, because the winters are harsher and longer, so you need to store more food and make sure it doesn't spoil, which requires extra planning. so as a historical consequence, northern countries end up with a higher degree of organization, including bigger states, more organized tax systems, overall more organized structures.
You can see many examples of this. all big empires historically have had their center on the northern hemisphere, including england, US, europe, USSR, china. there's (almost) none on the south.
