> Brazil One of the most violently unequal countries on the planet. Very proficient however in virtue signalling.

Also let's not forget Spain's endless corruption scandals. You aren't going to tax the people giving you money

Lol, why are we still being taxed then?

We do have endless corruption scandals though, that part is pretty accurate, but they still tax us like there is no tomorrow. At least we have pretty good healthcare, so it isn't all doom and gloom like the "news" want us to believe.

health insurance contribution is considered as tax in Spain?

I meant: you're not going to tax the people giving you bribes.

Are you bribing politicians LOL? I hope not

No, at least not as far as I know :) But we are indeed paying their salaries ("giving you money") via our taxes, I guess that's what I thought when you wrote that. No foul :)
