yes, all those northern european countries have systems that allow for free enterprise while also taking care of its most needy citizens. if you go there, you will find no homeless people, education is free all the way through college, health care is free, etc. yes taxes are higher but the standard of living is also higher, paychecks are higher to offset the taxes, and many things we have to pay for are free anyway. it works very well.

Sweden consists of at least 90% ethnic Swedes and has the population of New Jersey... about 9 million. Compare that to the demographics of the US and the 300 million+ population. It's like comparing apples to oranges. Sweden doesn't have the world's most powerful military like the US and Sweden has little responsibilty around the world except for taking care of themselves. Sweden does not have a massive illegal immigration problem. Imagine making the US a welfare state like Sweden and having 30 million+ illegal immigrants leech off of it.

it only works because they have very few poor people. they are almost all very smart, because the average scadinavian speaks perfect english as well as their native language. america cannot afford to take money from hard working people and piss them off to feed masses of lazy morons who are parasitic and weak

I'm 18yr old and swedish. It's true that our country is based on social-capitalism. The government do alot to help citizens, compared to other countries such as Russia. However, they have been transferring ownership of business from the public sector (government) to the private sector (business) latetly becuase our taxes isn't high enough. Welfare is very costly. Hmm, and I don't know why we are selling very profitable companies to America. We have very high taxes. They are f*cking insane. Many of our immigrants are not integrated in the swedish society and most of them do not work and live completly of our welfare system. This is not good to swedes or the economy. But our economy is going up, not down at the end of the year. Our living standard is pretty high. You will not find any homeless people, except the ones who can, but don't pay the bills. If you want to start a company, don't go to Sweden. ----------- The employer need to pay 30% payroll tax. As an employee you pay around 30% on remaining money. 25% TAX on the most products. It's also 25% on food if you eat it in the restaurant. But if you take the food with you, or buy it in a food store then It's 12%
