Most economically liberal country in Europe?

[English]

Overall, it's Germany. Sweden has a great welfare state and high taxes, but business regulations etc. are low, hence the successful economy. Germany is massively over regulated and has a stagnant economy.

Are you proud to live in this countries that steal so much of your hard earned money.

Yes.
I get 35 days paid holiday a year, free health care, paid sick leave and work a 39 hour week. Plus I live in a country with the best comedy and music in the world, lovely country pubs and picturesque villages. Not to mention the best city in the world (London).
The only downers to life in Britain is rain, the class system and yobs.

Are you proud to live in this countries that steal so much of your hard earned money.

Yes.
I get 35 days paid holiday a year, free health care, paid sick leave and work a 39 hour week. Plus I live in a country with the best comedy and music in the world, lovely country pubs and picturesque villages. Not to mention the best city in the world (London).

I get 33 days paid holiday a year (two weeks vacation, two weeks Christmas Bonus and five holiday days, whether I work them or not), I get 12 days of paid sick leave a year, full pay. I work a four days a week with a average of 42 hours. My healthcare costs 50 a week for my whole family and I make 35k a year. I think we are comparable. Maybe you make more then me, I imagine you do cause I think I'm the poorest forumite here. And we have warm weather year round to boot..so .

Actually, in dollars, I too make about 35k a year. Sounds like we're quite similar. I concede however that the weather in Florida is far superior to Northern England!
A heatwave here is a week in the high 70's Farenheit!
The thing I love most about Britain are the hundreds of cosy picture-postcard villages, with thatched roofs and warm pubs with roaring fires.

About 25% of my income is deducted straight from my pay packet in income tax and National Insurance.
After that we pay 17.5% VAT on pretty much everything we buy apart from food.
Things like cigarettes and petrol in the UK incur massive taxes. Something like 85% of the value is tax!!
Still our tax burden is lower than the EU average. Germany has the highest.

[English]

And taxing isn't exactly stealing. I accept the working of a democracy.

(Enforced) Taxation is legalized plunder (criminal theft inside of the law) as opposed to illegal plunder (criminal theft outside of the law).

I for one do not believe that one class of people may steal (government) and do no wrong, whilst another class are locked up for it (those who steal privately).

What say ye?

In a word, nonsense!
If you don't believe in enforced taxation or indeed any taxation then don't use highways, hospitals, schools, universities, don't have your rubbish collected or street lights around your house illuminated. Don't expect the UK military or police to protect you and don't leave your house at all since you'll be walking on pavements paid for by tax-payers.
You're the one who is stealing, by expecting public services and then not wanting to pay for them!

[English]

Well, I see your point, however the beaurocracy created to administer a separate billing system for things as diverse as street lighting, sewers and the police would be terrifying. I don't think even hardcore libertarians would advocate such a system. Tax is a necessary evil, it's the simplest means we have of paying for a vast range of services that allow our societies to function on a daily basis.
