Depends what "taxes" you're talking about, doesn't it. What taxes are you referring to? Capital gains? Personal income tax? What? Care to post any studies from reputable sources that support your assertion?

Switzerland is probably still one of the more "capitalist" countries in Europe. Singapore? No capital gains tax. Zip, zero, nada.
