When I earned $5 500/month last year I paid a 27% income tax.
What is becoming of Scandinavia?
People aren’t listening to your arguments like I pointed out before. They are just listening to their emotions. Somehow they feel that a small country like Sweden or Norway (both with populations less than 10 million) are somehow a threat to the US model if they are somehow doing better in some economical aspect. This is silly. The US is an enormous country with many diverse economies. The economy of New Jersey with a $57K household income has little in common with the economy of Montana with a $34K household income. This doesn’t mean the Montana model is flawed with respect to a much more left leaning New Jersey. Nor does it mean that the US economy as a whole is flawed with respect to the Scandinavian countries.
