Comment on Rich People Are Becoming Less Willing to Help With the World’s Problems
Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoWe’re talking about median, and the median person in the US gets employer provided healthcare and usually some form of employer pension/401k contribution plus social security, so I don’t think those would be much different cost wise for a median US vs UK resident. I’m sure Britain uses there taxes better than us and has better benefits, especially for the poor, but I don’t think that fully accounts for the gap.

So they don’t pay a penny towards those costs? For the median? As thats a lot of people.
As its entirely wrapped in the tax already accounted for in that net income with the UK tax payer.
I wasn’t expecting it to be the whole difference but I do know those that have to pay in the US pay a significant chunk of change.
