Europe is a more expensive market for us because everything is more expensive there: you have to pay all sorts of taxes (and not only VAT)
Get your governments to lower your taxes.
It's really not that hard to understand. Unfortunately, people always insist on making simple things complicated.
Lower taxes = lower prices all the way around.
Pretty much everything costs more in Europe. Because businesses are forced to pay more in order to operate there. Socialistic governmental policies always come at a high price. This translates into higher food prices, higher prices for audio CD's.......higher, higher, higher.
Rage about the unfairness of it all. Or do something about it -- and step away from the socialism. Lower the tax structure.
Until then.....we'll continue to pay far less for everything on this side of the pond.
I'd like to feel sympathy for my European cousins on this issue......but they keep voting the socialists into power, and then complaining about the results.
