Re: Lindsey Vonn's Gold Medal transfer
When I lived in Germany, I learned that they are taxed not only on income and what they buy, but also what they own. So every year at tax time they have to turn in a list of property they own and pay a tax on it. So if they owned 3 high dollar HD TV's and a big house and 3 cars, it's going to cost them every year just to keep them. Imagine for a minute if you had to pay, say 2% tax, on the value of everything you own, how much stuff would you get rid of at tax time.
Even if they did that here, our government is so financially inept, that they would wind up blowing that tax revenue as well, then move on to taxing something else.

As far as taxes on cars, every country including ours taxes it's citizens on the ownership of a vehicle. It's called registration and tag fees.
And lastly, just about every country has property tax for those that own a home.
So no, you don't pay a tax on everything you own. You pay taxes on certain items that are common in many countries.

Trigger,
Your right, I stand corrected, I just read some of the German Tax code and it had a major revision in 2001 and 2008. But, from 94 to 96, when I lived there, my German landlady used to always give us a bunch of her stuff at the end of every year, since I didn't understand why the first time, I asked one of my Army friends who was married to a German national, and it was she that told me that citizens are taxed on all personal property that they owned at the end of a tax year.
But there tax rate is fucking horrible. I hope to God it never gets this bad here in the US.
<7834 Euro = 0%
7835-52552 Euro =14% plus .77% solidarity tax
52553-250400 Euro =42% plus 2.31% solidarity tax
251401 and up =45% plus 2.475% solidarity tax
And there is a municipal trade or sales tax of 14% to 17%, and the Value Added Tax, and their version of Social Security. With a conversion rate of $1 to .7391 Euro, so if you made $71,105 (in dollars) you would pay $31,506 in income and solidarity tax, and be left with $39,598.
Thank God I live here, I feel so good now I'm going to go out and buy some shit and do my part in helping the economy recover. :6
