3 words make your argument smell: "in my opinion". Are we talking facts or your opinion being represented as facts?

So if it's facts, got sources?

It's a bold face lie, just propaganda. Here's the table from the tax authority for 2022:

The top marginal rate is 48% at 78834 €, so if you earn 80k€, that 48% is applied to 2k. Regular marginal tax rate stuff.

Social Security is separate, just checked my own salary sheet and it's 11% for a regular employee. The employer pays the rest, if you are both employee and the employer you must pay both parts.

Sure. I live there and talked to plenty of local accountants.
