In Japan, even low-income earners making 1.9 million yen a month pay 25% in taxes. Unbelievable.

I heard that the tax rate for a low-income worker in Japan, making less than 200,000 yen pre-tax per month,
is a whopping 25%(!!!!!!!).
To be precise, it is 5% income tax, 10% inhabitant tax,
and 9.5% pension insurance.
They are truly preserving Japan's long-standing tradition
of taking a murderous amount of taxes even in modern times..
For reference, the tax rate for a worker in Korea making 1.9 million won pre-tax is
11%..
