EU isn't anti-capitalist. It is pro capitalist. They simply don't want you to get rich. It's a neo-oligarchy system. If you want to become an enterpreneur and get rich that way, well.. forget about it. You will only be able to do with someone else's capital, and you'll be doing the dirty job sacrificing your life for peanuts.

It's worth digging deeper as in some jurisdictions, you have exemptions to certain types of income or as non-domiciled individual (e.g., Cyprus)
In Estonia income taxed in a foreign state is exempt from tax in Estonia and there is no gift tax.
