What about those that can't work?

Ok, fist of all I'm Norwegian, and if you want details on Swedish economy please ask a Swede. Second, and for the last time, SWEDEN DOES NOT HAVE OIL! Third, I'm from Norway


Got it!  Denmark!

Then the Swedes pay no national tax (only municipal tax) if they earn less than 290,100.00 SEK?

I would rather grind a dog **** into my hair than read tax documents.  If I find time I'll try to track down 1968 information, but I doubt it's on the net.  Maybe I kept an old time magazine or two - I'll look there. :)

My medical is paid for by my employer as is about everyone elses as part of our salary... which is still high by world standards..

Also... we dont pay 4 or 5 dollars a gallon for gasoline and allmost all of our goods are cheaper... those things are taxes too.  

We do this while supporting a very large population of unemployable and immigarants and  illegals who have no intention of ever working.

I'm all for helping those that can't work but a little bit of socialism goes long ways. There are millions in this country that "can't" work and on disability 'cause they have the "not in the mood to work" syndrome.

Immigrants are some of the hardest working people in the US. Immigrants had a large part to do with the electronics boom during the late 80s and 90s in California.
