Minimum wage is high over here for US standards, but anything you'd buy is heavily taxed. Fuel is 60% tax. Electricity has 60% tax. VAT is 21% , except for food items: those are 'just' 6%...
but our roads are in good condition, and our bridges, there is hardly any begging on the streets, we do well... kind of.
We've seen fuel prices as high as 10 $ a gallon over the years.
