2 days agoWhat do you mean “instead of”? There are many kinds of taxes in my country, which is in the EU. I pay a huge cut of my salary in taxes every month even before I pay VAT on things I buy.
The birthright citizenship one is the main one that comes to mind. I do not think all of them are, that would be stretching things.
