"In addition, it is plain stupid to compare income or taxes. What is important is to compare what you get in exchange for your taxes and how far you go on your income.
"I do not know any of my American friends' children who do not go to a private school. In Paris most of the kids I know go to the public school, which is the best education and free.

–Alain C., France
