Sweden: A socialist paradise filled with billionaires’ financial age. Michael T:
I wish they could stop using the “socialist Sweden” tiradotrope. Over the past 30 years, governments have put their best efforts into privatizing everything that matters. There is nothing left in Sweden with socialists. The public has nothing. Wealth is transferred from the general public to the oligarchs. Taxes higher than capital. 70% of the billionaires’ wealth from inheritance. Engineer Economy where you have scholarships to the Parasite Economy.
