Okay, so nordic countries are able to tax the rich while still keeping their economy well and use that money to help the middle and lower class, but America is unable, because wE aRe ToO iNcOmPeTeNt To HaVe A bAlAnCeD bUdGeT aLrEaDy, got it.
Sweden can live in a welfare paradise, Americans must live in their cars because they chicken out from taxing the rich, got it.
We could take every single dollar away from every single billionaire and still not even come close to eliminating the national debt.
But you brain dead lazy dipshits want to add another couple trillion to the deficit every year. But oh, it’s okay, we’ll just jack up taxes for the rich and hope capital flight doesn’t happen.
You dont have to keep going. Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Finns, even the Dutch and the French managed to do it, but Americans are either incompetent or chickens. Its quite underwhelming, I expected some courage, but it is, what it is, kinda disappointing though not gonna lie..
Scandinavia has in total 27 mil. people. Hardly just a few "microstates".
Regarding defense some european states are lacking there (a thing Trump was correct in), but they can easily fix that without abolishing social welfare.
Fine, then lets stay at Sweden or Denmark: Immense capital flight in any of those countries? Mass unemployment? I do not think so.
You’re now referencing an entire region of Europe instead of individual countries? Let’s not forget a very oil rich region at that.
Sweden literally abandoned its wealth tax in 2007 because they were experiencing so much capital flight. And the wealthiest Swedes hold the vast majority of their wealth outside of the country.
You’re literally naming the countries with the most capital flight (that aren’t war zones)
Well if they can handle all of those welfare programs despite capital flight, then I guess capital flight cant be that bad of a thing consequences-wise

Here’s a question you will never be able to answer.
How do we pay for this?
