@SenSanders say America should become more like Sweden. I agree. Sweden has a private pension system, school vouchers, and no minimum wage law

Doncha know that in Commie World there are the “ELITES” and then there are the rest of us.

Bernie is a quintessential God-complex Elite.

The cars I’ve seen with Bernie Bumper stickers have little old ladies driving. It’s amazing.

A really nasty piece of work.

When people say they want socialism, what they really want is what you have without them having to work for it.

Well, the maximum income tax rate in Sweden is 50%.
That’s all, Sweden does not have any state taxes.
So if you combine the maximum federal and state taxes, there are states in the US with bigger marginal tax rate.
But what is really different is that Sweden also tax heavily the middle class and even poor.
Basically Sanders should be promoting - tax the poor policy!

I completely forgot about Malmo.

That is right across the bridge from Copenhagen.

I bet the Danes love that!

I assume the Swedish Muslims can work any place they want to in the European Union?

Fortunately, the Swedes still have Alicia Vikander...

White leftists always hold up white-run socialist states as the ideal. Why do you suppose white leftists prefer white socialism to SOC-run countries?

[SmokingJoe]

The effective taxation rate in Sweden is commonly cited as among the highest in the world

They still have a private pension system, school vouchers, and no minimum wage law though. All against what Sanders is advocating for.

They do have a tax rate but that pays for college, pays for masters degree, healthcare, sick leave, vacation time, pension, etc. A regular Dr appointment costs $45.00 not our current rate $120.00 average.

I read an article some time ago that said that if Sweden were a state of the United States, that it would be the poorest state in the union.

Sweden like Germany provides “free” or taxpayer provided university for those who qualify. In Germany you are tested to get into university, if not accepted its off to trade school. Also once you graduated from university in Germany there is no going back for another major. So if your major is no longer needed in the work force, too bad.

So how does “free” or taxpayer provided university help those who cannot qualify?

Medical care in Germany has no liabilities, no suits against the medical provider. This point can be argued, but you notice that Obamacare never got rid of the lawyers suing doctors. So if the State want equal “free” medical care to Germany the lawyers would be out of an area of practice 😂.
