It is not fine There are many good reasons to live in Sweden but tax rate and winter are not among them The marginal tax rate used to be over 100% in some cases and it is caused by too many years of too populistic socialism Political economy has it tax rate should be no more than 50% and that corporate tax rates need to be far lower populism has a problem with taxing workers, but real estate, workers and consumption should be taxed acc. to science. Middle class workers must be taxed because they are so many they steer the totals In such calculations, per the article, worker taxes paid by employers need to be included as well as significant deductions they also used to have a wealth tax causing the rausings/milk carton to move out and kamprad/ikea to claim religion. If your rich enough and have to pay 4% of your wealth you can never catch up and instead claim your living in Brussels yelling from your condo on Strandvagen How you tax rich individuals depends whether they move or not. If they move, everbody lose. In the case of US, it is unlikely richies will leave because of tax rate, there is really nowhere to go with similar opportunities. Imagine Larry Page on punta del este: he'd be bored to death inside of a week populism is a curse
