but the majority of the federal revenue is still paid by the "rich".

But why this fixation on the federal income tax? In this approach the Swedish tax system is the best, since the Swedish federal income tax is ZERO for EVERYONE and Swedes get a lot from their government!

I can only spend so much time looking into the tax system for Sweden but I found nothing that describes the system of a zero rate of federal income tax. Can you please link me to a citation that describes the current system of taxation.

So if I understand you correctly, Swedes pay nothing but get a lot from government? Or do they pay a lot to get a lot but it is not income tax as we know it? Or, is the nation so small that they get to live off of the capital gains from Nobel, perhaps? Or, do they really pay a lot but it is so progressive (communistic) that it only seems that nobody really pays?
