Any decent study should try to make a fair comparison (otherwise, you're 
right -- the findings are pointless).

A Danish acquaitance reported that in Denmark, the average person ends up 
paying 60% of their wages in taxes. That's not counting the 18% (IIRC) sales 
tax on *everything* (including food).
