I assume “Other purposes” is govt kickbacks to mining and gas companies 😬
Problem is in the US since so much of that is put into private sector hands we’d need to gather data on those costs outside of the taxes to put together a proper picture.
I paid twice that in taxes here in the USA and I still don’t have proper health insurance. If I got sick, I would be destitute.
You pay more in taxes than I earn in a year.
Other purposees are maybe funding for the esa (european space agency)
