Sweden best in the world
02:12:40 Jan 3rd 10 - Archangel Argyle:

Sweden is the best country in the world, heres why:

  • Free healthcare.
  • Paid by state to attend school. (even university).
  • Age of consent is 15.
  • No army.
  • ikea, same furnitures for all people is a human right!
  • Paid to not have a job!
  • Lots of immigration but no integration, you don't need to adapt if you move here, just apply your culture and it will work out just fine!
  • Hot females, high percentage of singles.
  • Hot males, high percentage of singles.
  • 5 weeks paid vacation a year, lots of holidays on top of that.
  • Alcohol sold only by the state.
  • All gambling is handled by the state, so you know your losses will go to fund your healthcare and the cash you get when you don't have a job.
  • All your electronic communication is saved and examined by the government, to keep you safe from bad guys!
  • Creator of VU is from Sweden.
please debate and don't forget to stay on topic!

K, well Politically Sweden isn't the place I'd like to be, but the fact that Zeta is from Sweden and a lot of other awesome people, along with the history of Sweden I'd give them an 8.5-9/10 for social and historical awesomeness, but a 5/10 for a place I'd want to live (would have been a 3 if it wasn't for the women hehe)

Doesn't Sweden have to pay like 70% of the taxes from paychecks to the government and only 30% goes to you. Knowingly you have that 70% being funded for free health care, schooling and everything to run a society. But yet, only 30% of your finances are on yourself.

Canada -
Only has to pay 50% to the government to get that free health care, medical check ups, dentist and other things.
Though we got no free schools, though we have some schools that are best in the world.
Most of the world loves Canada due to their standards based on what Canadians believe in what the world should be.
We got the best Hockey Players in the world, got some of the best Canadian Athletes playing in European Hockey League.
Most of Canada age consent is 18, except from some provinces in the East which is consent of 21 (American Influences).

Moonshine:

Like most countries we have a progressive tax(as opposed to a flat tax) this means most people pay ~30% income tax. Don't think anyone pays 70% income tax, but if you have a high salary you can easily go up to 55%(though you dont pay that on all your income, just on the the part that is above a certain treshold).


09:52:25 Jan 8th 10 - Archangel Argyle:

Tax is good, this is some examples..

30% income tax

12-50% purchase tax (tax on goods)

50% gambling tax (if you win 1 million in a lottery, usually hosted by swedish gambling, you only get half of it)


21:45:33 Jan 8th 10 - Ms. Milla Jovovich:

Argyle, eventhough I agree that tax is good you've got some things wrong:

The purchase tax(if it applies) is 6, 12 or 25%(depending on the type of commodity)
And, there's no such thing as "gambling tax", though income tax does apply!


21:55:20 Jan 8th 10 - Mr. Anus Quartzbeard:

25%


21:56:29 Jan 8th 10 - Lady Katie Holmes:

50% gambling tax?!?! :o


*feints*

Thank gawd for Vegas >.>


22:00:55 Jan 8th 10 - Archangel Argyle:

yes Milla, I was wrong sorry. I believe it was 50% earlier, and has now been changed to no tax if you win by chance and income tax if you win by personal achievment.
