According to a new study by the Swedish Ministry of Finance, 82 % of taxes paid are refunded, i.e. benefitting the tax payer him/herself; 45 % even in the same year as it is taxed. How? Through subsidised education, grants, childcare, etc.*
* The study covers Sweden, no data on other countries.
What do they do with the other 18%?
ReplyDeleteI guess that's just your contribution to society. Or perhaps, some people do get back 100 %, the ones less fortunate, and some more well off, perhaps only get back 66 %. So 82 % is an average. One would hope at least.
ReplyDeleteAll the taxpayers money should go back to the taxpayers, or better still never taken. It's their money! That Sweden claims 82% of the money is refunded is no surprise. America also refunds its taxpayers money in some form or another. All countries can make this claim. The programs you mention are all corrupted by the power hungry Socialists. They control Sweden with the help of the communists (Left wingers) and the Green party (which is in Sweden even more left wing than the communists. The education system does indeed receive tax money but it has many, many problems. Unfortunately, a major part of this money is not going to the education of the nations youths but instead is being used by the so called adult reeducation programs. These programs enable the unemployment statistics to appear better than they are. As soon as an unemployed takes a course he is no longer unemployed even if the course is totally useless to any occupation (belly dance 101). The grants allow people without any chance or desire of supporting themselves to live a relative good life at the expense of the real workers. Naturally, anyone living in this fashion becomes a faithfull Socialist.
