Many view Sweden as socialist. However, the country is, in fact, very pro-capitalism, but does it with redistribution through taxes. Personal income is taxed at a rate of 61.85 percent, plus a 7 percent social security tax rate for employees. On top of these taxes, Sweden also has a 25 percent consumption tax. For these sacrifices of financial freedom, this is what Sweden offers their citizens in benefits:

• Pension
• Health care
• Unemployment Insurance
• Education through Ph.D. Level
• Child Day Care
• Very generous leaves of absence from work with benefits including: education up to 6 months, starting your own company up to 6 months off, parental leave up to 16 months with 80 percent of your pay during time off
• 16 public holidays (10 of these holidays are Christian-based, even though just five percent of the population are regular church attendees)

Ну давайте популярно предложим это американцам, например, через сколько пикосекунд мы услышим крик «социализм»?
