> I claim increasing prices without increasing wages provoke unrest, and you can see that everywhere in the very present world. If it increases too much that could happen, but there is nothing that says taxes have to be increased too much. > About taxes no, Sweden have high taxes and a deep social fracture with very relevant unrest, with crimes, bombs and shooting on the streets not much differently than certain parts of the USA or Sri Lanka these days. Swiss or France or Russia (the state, not the federation) so far have far less deep fracture while have less fiscal pressure. The issue with taxes is in their meaning. You don't seriously think Sweden has a similar crime rate with bombs and shootings as certain parts of the US... You're watching too much propaganda if you believe that.

We have already violent unrest in poorest countries and we start to have mass protests in less poor but still with not much developed social systems countries. And not due to tax increases but to mere price increase MOSTLY artificial using covid and Ukraine as excuses but partially NOT artificial due to real shortage and supply chains issues... > You don't seriously think Sweden has a similar crime rate with bombs and shootings as certain parts of the US... I do not think, I know, having lived in Sweden with some friends still there and having some friends in USA, surely I'm not in both places right now (I'm in France) BUT hearing their stories that's essentially the same, only handled in different ways and advertised in different ways. > You're watching too much propaganda if you believe that. We all do, I try my best to collect feeds for generic news to have different propaganda's to be compared and hear people from different places in general but that's is...
