I hate progressive taxation, in Sweden it's perverted. From every Dollar beyond a yearly income of just $35,000 the government steals 52% from me. If I add the 5% of my salary I have to pay back the students loan, it becomes 57%. So from every $100 extra I earn, I only get $43 in my pocket.
But the government are trixters, because it's not actuallt just 52% in taxes. It's a lot higher than that, because the employer already pays some 30% in taxes with just a different name on every Dollar he pays me in salary (without that tax, our salaries could be higher of course). So it's hidden taxes. And not only this, but in Sweden u get 25% VAT on almost all consumption (actually 75% on gasoline and liquor).
All my sweat and tears go to pay the living of all these leeches that don't wanna work, or who cheats with state wellfare, and the hordes of immigrants etc. It sux.
