[QUOTE="tiasman, post: 3687880, member: 11114"] I have a very good Swedish friend. He has an AR15, hunting rifles and a Glock 19. He had to take classes, get a background check and has to keep them in a real safe in his home (no RSC). He buys his suppressors off the shelf at the hardware store just like a box of glue, no paperwork. Now that that’s out of the way… He makes around $100k a year as a robotics engineer. He pays 40% in taxes all in. For that 40% he gets: 100% medical with a $60 per year copay. Break a femur? $60. Get liver cancer? $60. 100% college tuition room and board included through masters degree. You must keep satisfactory grades or you are booted. Heavily subsidized fiber internet (he pays $14 a month for tb speed). Heavily subsidized NUCLEAR power (he pays $30 ish a month in dead of winter) total electric homes. Heavily subsidized dental insurance. He pays around $10 a month for dental. It’s Europe so a lot of people don’t carry dental lol. Is that worth 40% taxes? I’m thinking maybe. As a father of 3 self employed my two big cost concerns are healthcare and college. As our system stands now I’m on the hook for $37k out of pocket right premiums and copay for a bad Illness in my family. Thank God it hasn’t happened. We’ve been uninsured for 6 years. Then let’s talk college costs. If $40k in taxes all in could cover all that? Yeah, I’m in! Im not saying Sweden is a paradise they have their own problems but what I am saying is Americans are being bamboozled on healthcare by crooked politicians raiding the treasury and insurance execs!
