I'm an American living in Japan for the past 13 years. All in all, 
Japan is closer to the U.S. tax-wise, e.g. if you work hard you can 
enjoy the benefits of what you create, while ensuring a pretty good 
safety net, free health care for kids and elderly. Sales tax is 5% 
here, which everyone thinks is high, which makes me laugh to myself. 
Tax is always included in the price here, as of last year.
