🏛️ 4-axis financial ecosystem
Tax — coming soon
Tax as the social contract — what each country takes, what it returns, and the gap between published rates and effective ones.
🔜
What this axis will cover
- Income tax brackets across 6 countries — and the difference between marginal, effective, and 'real' (after deductions) rates.
- VAT/sales tax — the regressive layer that shows up in every charge bill.
- Social contributions — what's tax in name, what's tax in effect (BE 40%, KR pension+health 9%, US payroll 7.65%).
- What you get back — universal healthcare, public education, retirement floors, and what taxation actually buys you.
