@TheAranethon Thats right you are Swedish and that is exactly why he shouldent trust you when you say he is not a socialist.

Iam Swedish to but i have opend my eyes we have been feed with socialist propaganda for so long so we cant see how extreme our contry is.

You know some people are calling Obama a socialist and he is more "right wing" then any other party in Sweden. If you compare Sweden with other contries you will be chocked we (Sweden) is an extreme left socialist contry open youre eyes.

@edwardsson Frederik is far from a socialist mate, trust the Swedish guy.

Way better for the workings of society, way better for the average employee. I agree there's a problem for entrepreneurs atm. They should pay the same taxes as anyone else at their income level. Sweden should also lower the corporate tax for smaller and medium-sized companies, as well as low-low-middle salaries. Compensate with other taxes. Oh, and if Sweden would fund their IRS a bit more, they could lower overall taxes by alot and get rid of corruption.

@liktenrullandesten the swedish state is very rich ..it can afford to have 1 000 000 swedes out of work and dole out 3billion Euros/yearly to Africa and Asian poor economies....

@freedomthrough Way better or whom?? the people working at swedens IRS??some academics presenting economic theories at some university?? An entrepreneur doesn t like swedish taxes, neither all the swedes doing black work,cleaning,repairing without a receipt. In Dubai thepresonal income taxis are 0%, in Hongkong 17%..the swedish socialisrs have always made all those taxies looking good by packing them in intellectual terms. Its okey for 10 000 euro/month swedish politicians to speak about taxes.
