Then you also should stay out of New York City.

I live there and here's a few comparisons based on know how and where
to buy things as a local resident

tourist local
residents

first class dinnner: $50 and up $10/15
botttle of cold water $2/4 for 16/16 ounces $50 to $1.00
street hotdog $2/3 $50/1.00
broadway show 60/200 $20/40
met opera 100/200 $10/50
movies 8.50 and up $5/7 to free
parking 35/80 per day free

We do ripoff a lot better than any 3rd word country and we are damned
proud of it. Come to NY, bring money and we'll help lighten your
journey.

Not your typical is very honest.

In Australia it's exactly the same only worse.

Junkies, unemployed, students, pensioners etc get 1/2 fare on public
transport, theatric, movies, exhibitions, museums etc etc.

It doesn't matter what's wrong with you, how old or poor you are or
whatever but if you're not an Aussie citizen then you're completely

OUT OF LUCK !

Every country does it & I've travelled quite a bit & it's fair enough.

I'm so sick of hearing wealthy tourists whinge about the prices of
things & while I'm at it Aussies are amongst the worse.

Yanks rarely tip outside their own country & it's all a bit weird
really.

Worse ?
Worser than belgium, I can hardly imagine:
If you are poor, retitred, applicant for asylum or you are a proven leftist
(membership card of the socialist party)
you can take the bus for free.
Valid only in cities with a socialist mayor.

Why do I have to pay up to 76 % income tax and on top of that also VAT
and a lot of other taxes ?
Yes, exactly, to pay for that bus.
There is no country in this world were people pay more taxes.
There is no other country on this globe were refugees can move in and get
immediately and unconditionally 800 EUR / month from the state to do nothing
at all.

Do you want to visit this country ? You will pay for the bus.
Tear up your passport, visa or id.card, tell the pollice that you are a
refugee. You can travel for free here.

You think it's worse in Australia ?
Go away
