China?

[RUSH1]

You are confused. Sweden is a socialist democracy and for the most part, so is Canada. Socialism is an economic system not a subornination of individual rights or freedoms. Believe what you chose but no one economic system including capitalism is perfect. Oh and by the way, show me anywhere in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights where the word "capitalism" appears.

Here ya go Busher.  I came across a more detailed read years ago when the Bernie Sanders BS train left the station, but can't find it now.  There is more than enough data out there, though.

They're all in the same club. No one in the club ever gets held accountable. Nothing is going to happen. Nothing.

Sorry, an opinion written by a right-wing stock broker does not make it truth for me. About as reliable as Q-boy's sources.

What's opinionated about facts and figures?  Go find your own source then.  Fact is Sweden runs a capitalist, free market system where business' are taxed less and their citizens are taxed way more than in the U.S (oh, the irony).  Kind of a buzz kill, isn't it?

Wonder who will cry the loudest over this thread's lock over rabid political behavior.

Last I checked, neither Dmon or I called anyone any names.  As for others …

You think breaking the political post rule is about name calling. Heh. How quaint.

I think you should have looked up in the thread and I quote:

Missed that one?  What's a "Q"?

However, I do realize that you guys would like to end this thread as soon as possible.

My Buzz isn't killed yet. Oh and by the way, one stock broker's observations do not create ""facts and figures" for me. I am well aware that taxes are higher in social democracies but the offset is citizens do not pay for healthcare, do not pay for higher education for their children and seniors are not forced to work until they die or worse, die in poverty. I am not saying its a better way to manage a country... I am only pointing out that there are alternatives.
It is worthy to note that as of 2019, the USA's national debt per capita was approximately $69000. Sweden's was $21000 per capita.

I'm not the one (or one or the ones) that's revved up about perceived political enemies.

Oh got me!
He called me out first with bad language. I just returned the favor.

They bait us every time and act so innocent.

People need to know about China.
We don't want war. We want great trade deals and ethical business standards. I dont want their way of life and they don't want mine. We cannot be weak any longer toward their encroachment.

They call you dumb and stupid when they can't argue facts.
Your source is always invalid.

I don't believe that to be the case this time.

Sweden is a very small country. 10 million people. Is very much easier to manage. How much do you think they give away in "aid"?

I'm trying to stay away from this aspect of the conversation as it might ruffle some feathers.  Let's just say their form of capitalism would never work here as we are carrying around way too much dead wood.

Are you going to recognize their tax rate on business vs their citizens?

let's just all agree to stop posting. (Even though its fun  ).

Hopefully Hitech won't ban us all...

Troll batttling is over. Ya hear me!

We will see how it pans out.
