How high a tax rate is tax you to death? Because I think you should be glad you aren't living in Scandinavia if you are afraid of being taxed to death. Here in Denmark if you make more than about 90 000 $ a year you will have to pay something like 60% in direct taxes and after indirect taxes you probably end up having paid something like 75-80% in taxes... Though the conservatives and the liberal alliance wants to lower the taxes for the highest incomes; they are just the only ones who want to and they don't have a majority

Pfff... Communists!
 
In tax pressure measured as a percentage of GDP, it is about half in the United States compared to the socialist paradise that is Scandinavia. I'd look up the exact numbers but I'm already late and on my phone.

On the other hand you don't get free health care, free university including masters, student salaries, high quality kindergartens, etc. in the US.

Funny how the word "free" makes not just one, but two, appearances in that sentence.

Because I don't have to pay directly; sure I pay through taxes, but that is spread out and I won't be much in debt for taking a masters or be ruined if I get some exotic decease.
 
Has anyone here played "to the moon"? You could basically have "avoided this plot" if the US just had free healthcare.

Also this



TO THE MOON! (Sorry, got excited).

The price you pay for a welfare state!

Regrettably, racist Southerners shot down that idea during the New Deal.

Huh? Are you talking about taxes? If so then most Danes actually are happy about the tax pressure being high since they think the things the taxes finance are worth it.

Also be prepared to have your mind blown. I just saw that the conservatives blocked Bjørn Lomborg from getting back on the annual budget; that is something the liberals really wanted to. (Lomborg is a high profile climate sceptic.) In general the conservatives are much more green then the liberals; it is the liberals who are climate skeptics and wary of restricting emissions---not the conservatives. The conservatives historically have been trying to guard the environment.

Paying taxes is cool! High taxes means solidarity.
 
Night 0:

(CNN)One of the marchers stabbed at Jerusalem Stockholm's gay pride parade last week has died, police and health officials in Jerusalem Stockholm said Sunday.

"K-59 was murdered because he bravely supported the principle that each one can live their life in honor and security," Netanyahu Panzer said in a statement.

"We will not allow this despicable killer to undermine the core values that Israeli Swedish society is based upon. We contemptuously denounce his actions of hate and violence. We will do everything in our power to bring this killer to face justice," the Prime Minister added.

K-59 was a prominent psychologist and many claimed, with the benefit of hindsight, that his presence could have helped stop a lot of the further psycho-related murders that took place during the march.

K-59 the spiritually attuned priest with a rival is hunted.
