I'm sure there's plenty of stats that will prove either or both sides of the story, but my personal feeling is that the French are about on a par with the Brits, if not slightly better off overall (which is why they have a higher percentage of salary in investments and savings than us) but of course they have first class public services, which we don't.

We spend a lot less on health per person however.

No we don't. As someone else rightly pointed out that this data is several years out of date. But regardless, that data is just TAX based on Income Tax - what about the dozen other TAXES that apply? I'll say it again - IMO, without any doubt, we *are* *one* of the highest paying nations when it comes to TAX.

Income tax and sales tax is higher in many other countrys as well.
