@MrWololo90 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9UmdY0E8hU Those higher taxes are what helps ensure that our companies are competitive. They ensure easy access to a highly skilled workforce, helps reduce the cost of important individuals getting sick etc. Our system quite frankly is a cost saving measurement in a lot of ways. For instance take state sponsored kindergartens. If you have 10 couples all having one person staying at home with their kids then that's a waste of resources. Have one of them work in a kindergarten and the other 9 work out there in the workforce however and suddenly your society is a lot more effective and that one person in the kindergarten can specialize. And so one and so forth. There's thousands upon thousands of cost saving measures of that kind in our nordic model. And they only work with high taxes. Having high taxes really isn't a bad thing at all. The whole point isn't the tax level or even what it's spent on. It's the total package pr person and/or company. Despite all the fearmongering on the right society really hasn't fallen apart like some people seem to claim.

@malenaboy Hvorfor tror du at han er Norsk? Vi har jo omtrent de samme skattene som dere...

@malenaboy Alle sier ting om Sverige hele tiden. Er ikke akkurat et spesielt Norsk fenomen :-P Og joda, er greit nok med en spøk.
