Election Time!



Today, Sweden elect its new masters, and as the Economist gladly pointed out they're looking to overturn what made it comparatively less worse-off than other European countries.

My point: There's no difference, sweethearts.

The Number of Numbers

Since the Centre-Right government Reinfeldt was elected in 2006, 140bn SEK (~£12 bn) of tax-reductions have been made. (Roughly about 10% of then yearly public revenue - and because of economic growth, total public receipts have since then increased by some 29%, while inflation is up only 10% essentially making the tax-reductions irrelevant, but who's counting?)

In 2006 the total Tax Revenue out of GDP was 48,3%. That means, out of a total economy of £100, 48,3p was payed in taxes to the government.

In 2013 the total Tax Revenue out of GDP was 44,5%. That means, out of a total economy of £100, 44,5p was payed in taxes to the government.

Sweden used to be World Champion in taxing its economy; we've now been demoted a few steps, which is causing the Socialist-/Feminist wave ("WE WANT FIRST PLACE!"). Nonetheless, The opposition accepts most of these tax-reductions, saying "you can't keep changing entire tax systems every 4-years". That is, in the oppositions' suggestions of what to do, Tax Revenue would likely be somewhere around tops 46% of GDP. Election is between 44,5% or 46%.

HUGE difference, obviously... (*insert Ironic laugh*).

My Point Again: There is negligible differences between political parties in Sweden. 

The ruling class loots your income, regulates your life and steals your property nontheless.
