All true.I feel for you @solarman2022. You work hard, get your career path sorted and you earn the reward of a good well-paying job at an early age. All the classic things that society should be encouraging. Sadly, in Ireland we reward this responsible and socially beneficial behaviour with eyewatering personal income tax rates.
However. We in Ireland have a system where young people, of any background, can receive an education which allows them to do the kind of work that pays well.
We have a system which delivers social peace and security.
All of this and other things taxes pay for, attracts employers to locate here, to provide the type of employment where hard working 33 year olds can earn €99k. Lots of people around the world work much harder in demanding physical jobs for a pittance, they probably wish they could pay tax.
