How Sweden fights inequality — without soaking the rich

Discussion in 'Economics' started by dbphoenix, Oct 16, 2014.

  1. Seriously ?
    I think Swedish people should keep their benefits quiet : I would not be astonished to see hordes of people
    looking to move there.
    Not me, as I have found a way to be lazy and still have money. But I guess plenty are still looking for
    "opportunities".

  2. Hospitals in Sweden (5* service) make stateside ones like Kaiser for example look like the Dark Ages

  6. No, not the ferry. They put you on the ferry because ....

    The Ferry is reserved for fairies, low-riders and Rio Grande canoe crossers of dubious distinction who think the International language is Spanish.

    Swedes decided a long time ago not to emulate California.

    Sweden sounds like a wonderful place, I think I will immigrate there, do they have any good Mexican restaurants? What's the weather like? What are the prospects for their baseball team this year? Do Swede futures traders get a 60/40 split on their cap gains?

    what's the deal with Europeans and their shitty bicycles? The only place you could sell one of those to an American is on ebay. And then they would probably just display it in their living room as a conversation piece.

  10. Mexican and all other types especially Moroccan which they seem to consider at the top end of sybaritic dining.

    Winters are cold and long, summers are stupendous.

    Taxes are high esp. on booze etc.

    Traders will take it in the 2-moon junction if American as the IRS is closing down that venue too. If you're any other nationality consider yourself BLESSED right out the starting gate. RE: IRS operations there and in other countries, sometimes an American can slide thru' the cracks and not be asked for serious docs, but its written that all cracks will soon be totally sealed.

    Baseball? don't know
