Critique the argument that France, Germany, UK, Ireland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland are small governments with high tax rates.
"France, Germany, UK, Ireland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, all are small governments with modern economies".
With an personal income tax rates of roughly 50% could hardly be considered a small government. Those tax rates vary in these countries but the average in roughly 50%. So yes, before some idiots jumps out and shows one country that is with less than 50% there some less than 50%.
