I heard a radio interview with a man from Sweden.
He made a documentary, I think PBS may have played it.
Anyway, he said the Swedish Socialism is gone, but not 100%.
They could not sustain it.
When it started, they were one of the richest countries in the world.
Then, companies went bankrupt or re-located, and, you get the picture.
A wealthy pro socialist children's author eventually spoke out against it, when she was tax at a rate of 104%.
Yep, 104%, more than she had.
Now they have a flat tax and a VAT tax, and things are starting to come around again.
Still high, but better than the "Tax the rich, give to the poor" scheme, that socialism relies on.
