    Exposing The Soft Underbelly Of Scandinavian "High-Tax Happy-Capitalism"

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-05-18/exposing-soft-underbelly-scandinavian-high-tax-happy-capitalism

    A media mini-industry touts Scandinavia's "happiness" as the result of its high-tax, generous welfare state-capitalism. This mini-industry conveniently fails to report the soft underbelly of Scandinavia's "High-Tax Happy-Capitalism": The high-tax, generous welfare model is just as dependent on unsustainable credit bubbles as every other version of state-capitalism.

    The reality is quite different from this glossy PR narrative. The Scandinavian economies have pursued the same unsustainable debt-bubble "fix" for their structural insolvency as other state-managed nations.

    Pretty simple:
    1. Work for a Swedish company, express interest in working at the HQ
    2. Have a wife who, in theory, won't divorce you for dragging her to the almost arctic
    3. ???
    4.profit Break even

    I remember searching for the perfect words. I was hoping you might change your mind. I remember a soldier sleeping next to me. Riding on the Metro.
