You're wrong. No-one pays more than 40% in income tax. We get all get an
Forgot to mention one tax we don't pay that I believe is paid in the US -
tax on winnings. There is a gambling tax for things like horse racing, but

where I should have said UK, if I read the site correctly. Someone
already pointed out TFD for the UK, and I was thinking to look up the one
