I'm just wondering, are all provinces connected with EPIK?
I mean, when dealing with EPIK, are they in contact with the Gyeongsangnam-do department of education?
The reason, I am asking is because I got rejected by Gyeongsangnam-do Department of Education. I am hoping to apply for positions in Gyeongsangnam-do through EPIK. |

Are taxes high in Canada and Europe? Yes. In the United States? No. Not unless you are a rich person.

In the United States, I got more money back than I had paid in. I would get thousands of dollars in tax refunds. The amount I paid in taxes: less than zero. |
Actually, I think Canada and the US are pretty close. Though it does depend on which state or province you live in.
A few years ago, I had met two girls who came to Korea. One from New York state and the other from North Carolina. They both made under 30K a year and they both told me their deductions. It seemed to me the total of everything came to almost a quarter of their pay in both places. (This was social security, medicare - which they didn't get, unemployment, state income taxes, federal income taxes, local income taxes - strange to me as local governments can't tax your income in Cnada.) Anyways, when I worked in the early 2000's, my total deductions were about 15% of my income. But the mid to late 2000's when I came to Korea, it seemed to have fallen to about 12% of my income with me making more money than before. Governments were in a tax cutting mode in the last decade in Canada.
I think lower income people pay less tax than in America, the middle class are about the same and the highest rate is less than America's. Of course non of this takes into account various deductions and the fact that the middle class in America gets some kind special family deduction which is not given in Canada.
