I have a friend who was born & lived in Sweden.
The “Cradle to grave” health care there is very expensive in your paycheck.
He was to the point where 76% of his paycheck was taken before he saw a penny of it.
He called me from Sweden & asked if I had an empty bedroom he could rent. He was here within 3 weeks. He helped me on my ranch—help I didn’t really need—but wouldn’t tell him that. He filed for papers to become an American citizen & he has done exactly that. He says he will never go back to Sweden.
Some 30 years ago, I did some electronics consulting. One of the engineers I was working with said he had been posted in Sweden, and the tax rate then was closer to 90%. He said that the company could never get anyone to work overtime in emergencies (like product crunch time) because the employees valued their time more than the measly 10% of pay they got to take home. So, they had to bribe them with goods, like blue jeans.
