I'm an american stationed in Germany. The nice thing about being here is that we don't pay bills at all if we chose! We can get tax relief forms for anything we buy off post and anything on post is never taxed. Our homes come with the job. We pay for internet and our car insurance. Not bad.

We don't pay any taxes, after all that's part of the reason for the Revolutionary War back in 1776, when we threw out you British scum.
Just kidding. But it sounds like you pay more over there.
