BTW, I don’t think U.S. socialists like Bernie and AOC want a Swedish kind of socialism. That is just a way to get the door opened to REAL socialism...and that is the kind they want.

ADD the “Progressive Income Tax’ and a ‘Value Added Tax’ (sales tax of 25%)
See Wikipedia for how bad it is. Only the first 18,000 kronor is not taxed. (That is approx. 1941.00USD)

Sweden is not socialist, parlimentary democracy.

Whoa! Knew a lot of that but had no clue that making $37k put you in a 60% tax bracket.

I think everyone should have "skin in the game" and pay some tax but man, can you imagine when some of these commie types try that here?

I remember reading a quote from a Swede in the 1990s in an article in National Geographic, back before I kicked them to the curb for being insufferable Leftists.

The Swede said something like, “We’re more Socialist then you, but we’ve seen the problem and have reversed direction. You’re still moving down that road full speed.”

NEW 2 MINUTE FED UP PROFESSOR #37 Am I alone in believing that we are facing a deeper divide than that between the statists on the left and traditional Constitutionalists but we are now divided into the sane and the insane? It’s getting downright CRAZY out here. It begs the almost rhetorical question of TO WHAT END? Be afraid! BE VERY AFRAID!! https://youtu.be/t173HOd43TE

AOC decried the US economy as unjust and unfair because it has so many billionaires.

AOC touted Sweden as an economy to be admired and emulated.

America has 7 billionaires for every 1 million population.

Sweden has 14 billionaires for every 1 million population.

Hm.
