“25% unemployment rates”

- What are you on?

“80% tax levies”

- Income taxes as well as corporate taxes are lower in Sweden than they are in the US. On the other hand, we suffer from a 25% sales tax (VAT) on most purchases we make.

Still, despite of our high wages, prices are not that extreme compared to the US or to the rest of the EU. We can afford to drive around in nice Volvos, Audis, BMW’s and SAAB’s.

“the cowing to radical Muslim elements that hold the nation in terror”

- I don’t like radical Muslims more than you do, but Sweden isn’t exactly Paris or Detroit.

You might be less socialistic in medicine, I don’t know.

We spend a lot on Medicare, Medicaid, and government twisted insurance companies and HMOs. We might actually have more government buggering of health care than you do.
