A lot of those countries pay 45+% average tax rates. Do you want to give more of your money to the government? I know I don't.
And they receive far more in return, while still having great capitalistic systems that profit well.

Are they receiving twice as much as we are? Because they are almost pying twice as much in taxes

So you want the government to take half of your income in hopes that they will use it to improve your life? Can they decide how to spend your money better than you?

Whenever political labels are discussed, everyone turns to examples from the past to describe their enemy. Conservatives talk about revolutionary socialism, which began dying out after WWII and hardly exists anymore. Liberals talk about capitalism as if it were all of the laizze faire variety, despite that it was discredited after WWI.
The truth is that most governments today have a mixed economy and use a little of both. The differences are in how much of each is used and how they use it. So talking points about economic labels aren't worth a hill of beans.
