Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

One of the many quaint beliefs the Left has about the US is that it's a relatively low-tax country

    So the Dazzler is admitting that his "wealthy friends" want to live in a "have and have nots" State where they are a part of the privileged class. Sounds like your typical leftist elitists.

    San Fransicko spends $100,000 per year on a single homeless person. They get their drugs, meals and food delivered to their tents. And they also get their toilets cleaned for them. Most of them are not from San Francisco, or even California.

    It's no different in the State of Washington.

    "Homelessness" is rampant in Spokane. It is virtually non-existent 15 miles away in Idaho.

    Paid 42% tax rate in Sweden, got free health care, free full time childcare (8:30am to 4pm), and $100 a month unlimited metro card.

    US I get taxed 28% and get toll roads

    Not sure how I missed this thread but I'm pretty sure you're paying much more than 28% in totality. Also, isn't education also free in Sweden?

    I get taxed a lot more than 28% and still get toll roads.
    Bullshit. No you don’t.
    I'm really disappointed in you ladies. This is one of your favorite subjects, that we're not taxed enough. Did your booster shot have some side effects?
    There is zero chance any of you gals pays 28% of your income in taxes. Basic math fail.
    Is there a chance that you missed the point of the discussion?
    You don’t want to pay European tax rates and you don’t receive European benefits. You especially don’t want me paying European rates . . . ‘cuz socialism, of course.
    Why do you think we just need more taxes?
    Because the money is already spent.
    So you agree that more taxes is a stupid idea.
    Sure. You’ll all turn down your entitlements for the common good, right?
    Still missing the point.
    The point of a guy deciding to live in Europe because he gets more benefits.
    The point is that despite the US having high taxes, there are less benefits. Would you pay more for a product that was of inferior quality? Thought you were a bidnessman.
    High taxes? Counter factual. Most of you have an effective tax rate below (if not well below) 20%.
    My effective tax rate is damn near 40% and much higher if I were to add all taxes beyond just federal and state income taxes.
