Hello Leigh,

My tax rate is 25% on the money I earn which is less than 35,000 pounds a year(
63,000 dollars).  The VAT rate is a high 17.5 percent which we really hate.  I
don't know about America, but I think that American taxes are lower than here.

 Regardless of the amount of incoherency and jingoism you have spouted, 
 homelessness, caring for the poor, caring for the unemployed, national health 
 care and crime rate are all much better here than there.  Our police don't
 carry guns, people aren't EVER turned away from hospitals, we have never
 napalmed civilians etc.  (Hey, this sounds really impressive!)  Of course,
 these are all my own views and I AM English, after all.  Aren't I allowed to 
 be  patriotic or will that soon be outlawed by the United Nations of America?
 "Hey  bud, look, there's another one of those nasty stuck up litte British 
 tanks,  lets blow the fucker up (just for a laugh, of course).  And look, 
 there goes  another...    Say, don't they make a nice noise when they burn..."
