- Perhaps, but Northern Europe didn't get rich by adopting policies resembling what Obama today is doing to the US.
What the tax rate is and what tax rate they pay are two VERY different things in USA.
- Sweden changed the diplomatic status from “neutral” to “non-bellingerent” when Finland was attacked by Stalin.
Sweden aided Finland with arms and other goods to a value more or less comparing to 50% of Finland's GDP of that time.
If Finland is attacked by a Communist dictator, Sweden will not remain passive. Furthermore, Sweden warned the Allies of Operation Barbarossa and traded with Britain during WWII just like we traded with the Germans and everyone else - in order to survive Hell.
Does this make my grandfathers Nazis? Britain and the US traded with Nazi Germany as well (examples are Bank of England and Standard Oil).
This is something I'm deeply worried about as well as ashamed about.
On the other hand, the success of the big companies present in Sweden isn't hindered by this politically correct import of Muslims and other “non-Nordics”.
Many of them can be put to work - and as long as they don't multiply excessively, they pose no threat.
Some say Muslim immigrants produce too many kids, but I question this. It doesn't seem to be the case where I live.
Muslims who've been granted asylum here in Sweden seem to have two kids just like the rest of population.
Somalian families of 14 or so are not to be found in Sweden.
“Does this make my grandfathers Nazis?”
I said they were NEUTRAL. Obviously not NAZIs. Raoul Wallenberg wasn’t a NAZI.
“Every country in western Europe had NATO’s cover from the Russians for the last 65 years or so and Sweden was neutral.”
- Who protected whom?
We Swedes produced quite a lot of sophisticated fighter planes during the Cold War and everyone with the slightest of insight into engineering could tell we would’ve given Russia hell if attacked.
Still by today, the technologically superior little nation of Sweden disposes of weapons that, more or less, could destroy any nation around the Globe:

Two nations on Earth can build decent cars. One of them can also build something that even could sneak up your nation’s coast - and annihilate it.
Very shortly they began to outnumber the Christians, most of whom were forced to leave. Today, traffic and business MUST stop for the call of the muezzin five times a day.
Once upon a time there was a country called Ethiopia. It was one of the first Christian kingdoms in the world. Today, it is over 40% Muslim and there are attacks every day on Christians and Christian Churches.
THIS is a process which has been replicated TIME AND AGAIN throughout history in countries which felt their Muslims were “different” and they could accommodate them.
There is an evil viper lurking in the bosom of each and every western European Country and the U.S. called Islam. Under Islam, there can be NO tolerance of non-Muslims or non-Islamic faiths.
Most non-Muslims have no idea what they are dealing with. I suggest Bridgette Gabriel, a Christian Arab from Lebanon who was forced to flee to the U.S. to escape Islam in her native Country of Lebanon as a source of information about what Islam involves.
Sweden does have beautiful women - some of the world's prettiest.
- No, just like 95% of the Swedes of those days he was not.
Sweden has done a lot for the Jews, but for some reason we never have received anything like a “Thank you, good hearted Scandinavians” from the Jews.
I don't know why Jews dislike Swedes. I really don't.
We have aided them and risked our lives for them:

Some would say it's time for them to recognize this.
“Sweden does have beautiful women - some of the world’s prettiest.”
- There’s a lot of talk going on about how beautiful our women are.
Please allow me to respond;
1. We Vikings deserve them, because we are fostered to treat women like men should treat women.
2. If you lack a proper role model, why don’t you work out things for yourself? Are you too stupid too learn how women wish to be treated?
I wish you good luck..
Double DITTO!!!
Sweden has singelhandedly defeated Russia and Germany in war.
What other nations have managed to do so?
- Britain? - No.
- France? - No.
- USA? - No.
All nations from Italy to the southern border of Scandinavia suffer from this inferiority complex towards us.
You never were and never will become Vikings.
Thank you sir!

Sure, all we need to do is exile everyone who isn’t etnically Teutonic and the product of 500 years of Protestant ethic. Go for it.

- Please remember what Bill Cosby has done for the upper class Liberal Blacks.
1700 was a long time ago, FRiend. As a former intelligence analyst I am familiar with history, especially the military variety. Could Sweden (or any other European country or group of countries) fight or invade Russia today? You are safe beneath our nuclear and ABM umbrella. Remove that and you’ll see the bear act differently.
- Sweden wishes revenge for Poltava.
Remove your silly umbrella and Russia and Sweden will start fighting each other anew.
Do you see a return of the Tsar?
You also dared to establish major ball bearings plants in Schweinfurt Germany, thus making money by providing the wheels for the Nazi War Machine, until American B-17 pilots made daring daylight raids, taking horrendous casualties, to bomb the shit out of your traitorous Swedish rat bastards and break up their F*ing factories.
Your idiot schools DO tell the truth about how you gutless scum sold out to the Nazis, don't they? Well, DON'T they?
“You also dared to establish major ball bearings plants in Schweinfurt Germany (..)”
- And Standard Oil supplied Luftwaffe with fuel.
