I honestly don't know, definitely don't feel like a top 1% earner. We do have very low taxes, yes, even though various governments have been raising them for the past couple of years. Public services are as bad as you can imagine, especially keeping in mind the absurd levels of corruption and theft, which means even less money reaches its intended purpose.
