It’s interesting to note that in most categories Scandinavian countries rate equal or higher in economic freedom than us. Main difference is higher taxation, but receiving universal healthcare and education gives you the freedom to pursue your dreamshttps://medium.com/rational-zone/why-calling-scandinavia-socialist-is-wrong-37c873314839 …

The average Swede pays 45% of income. A govt study done by 2002 posited that to pay for the welfare state county taxes has to be raised by 2040 by 50%. Average Swede will then pay 60% in taxes. Unsustainable.https://twitter.com/aClassicLiberal/status/993668504292294656?s=19 …

By 50% or “TO” 50%? I think you meant to put a COMMA after state when u said “welfare state county taxes” right?
-
Taxes has to be raised from 30% to 45%.
-
U mean WAS raised from 30% to 45% meaning it’s already been done right? When u say “taxes has to be raised by 2040 by 50%. Average Swede will then pay 60% in taxes.”, I think u meant TO 50%, so y would they pay 60% instead of 50%?
-
30%x50%+45%=60% (Prognosis for 2040 made in govt report 2002, however it's gotten worse. Now 2030 looks closer.)

Do you have that 2002 report I can look at? Why don't you cite a more recent report instead?

Except that it tends toward socialism and loss of freedom. The Road to Serfdom is apropos

The bigger the government the smaller the citizen. Government handouts are proven not to work and just create a dependency class.

Denmark doesn’t really have a future now does it? A minuscule birthrate and the mass importation of Islamic culture spell doom. How did this happen? The people are lulled to sleep with the opioid of government benefits.
