A good country to live in but I'm not satisfied with our politicians (but who is?). The main party Socialdemokraterna goes to an election bashing the politics of the right wing parties. After they've been reelected they run with the politics that they've bashed during the elections. This suits me fine since I belive in our right wings politics but I'm anoyed by the hypocracy.
Also I'm pissed that they have problems to keep the national budget out of the reds with the kind of taxes we have here.
VAT = 25%
Income Tax below 25 000$ = 30% +-2%
Income Tax over 25 000$ = 50% +-2%
Employment tax (on top of your gross vage) = 30%
EDIT: Since this came off rater negative sounding I must add that I love this country and I feel safer here than anywhere, but you must be able to see the flaws in a good thing in order to come closer to perfection .

Man, and I thought I was getting hammered with taxes.
