You are beautiful and intelligent. Regardless of taxes, SPENDING determines who benefits, which explains the disparity in your charts. The US government prioritizes more on militarism rather than social welfare. As a result we can bomb the sh*t out of anyone while our populations are broke and homeless.
I'd rather have 0% taxes and decide for myself how improve my own standard of living.
@MissMelodia4U don't forget Norway, we beat you on the UN's Human Development Index, median income, and have about the same GINI coefficient. Though you have way better roads than us :(
For this type of comparisons of countries, the differences in scandinavia are small enough that you can average it as a socio-political and economical zone when comparing to the rest of the world.
The biggest win for scandinavia is our industry ethics and mixed market economies.
@MissMelodia4U i'm opposed to the EU because i think the cultural differences in the expanded version (with eastern and southern countries) is too great and hard to manage, and the recent financial problems have only strenghtened my position.
I too am in favour of a Scandinavian Union, or a Nordic Union (including iceland, finland, and the small islands).
How is that places like Germany, China and India, who have comparable tax rates to that of the U.S., and in many cases higher, are producing more innovation and a greater educated population than the United States is now, if our modest tax rates, or the ones being propose by the Obama administration, were that restrictive on growth? This is one of the biggest myths the GOP loves to peddle. The only GOP myth that is bigger than this is the fact that Jesus will solve all our problems.
The thing is rich people in these other countries can move to a tax haven if they dont want to pay high taxes, americans cannot do that they are taxed regardless.
@flake452 oh the irony. if you followed your own advice, you'd realize what you just said was total bullshit. there are plenty of rich/corporations in America that get away with tax havens, and otherwise not paying taxes at all. pull your head out of your ass.
@Thrashaero Yes they can illegally stash their money in offshore accounts, yes the can own shell companies in offshore juristrictions but they cannot live in a tax haven and pay no tax, they are required to pay income tax regardless of residence.
@flake452 'they are required'....ostensibly....in reality, no. what difference does it make when whatever the law says isn't exactly enforced as it would be for you and me?
If Americans need proof that cutting taxes particularly for the rich, totally deregulating the economy, slashing expenditure on public services such as health and education, and all those other policies advocated by the MSM and the GOP works they only have to look at New Zealand's woeful socio-economic situation, especially since 2008, where these policies have been a fact of life for three decades. We've only avoided revolution because we export much of our unemployed to Australia.
lol Alyona it's not a b.s. argument and comparing countries with that are the size of 5 states with a combined population of what, 100 million to a country of 300+ million with people from all different backgrounds, points of view, etc?
okay,alyona,on behalf of all the viewers,i hereby invoke our constitutional right to bare arms_your bare arms.you look absolutely stunning.i had to watch this clip three times to actually understand what you were saying.god,i feel shallow now.
Not one penny that you pay in federal income tax goes to the Government....It all goes to the Federal reserve.
Something to think about people.

@Thrashaero How come tax havens rarely have american citizens then, if Americans move to a tax haven and stop paying tax they will get arrested.
