| loves2splooge said: Scandinavia has a very strong economy and one of the lowest Gini coefficients (income inequality) in the world. Taxing the rich heavily doesn't necessarily have to lead to a weak economy. It's not enough to tax the rich though. You have to manage funds properly as well in order to keep the economy healthy and reduce income inequality. I talked to a guy in Finland on welfare who complains about being poor and he has a gaming rig (no game consoles but he's a PC gamer so), buys the occassional PC game (doesn't pirate everything), high-speed internet, lives on his own, has a big HDTV and he owns a better cellphone than me. It's possible that he may have had savings built up but still. I don't know about you but Scandinavia sounds like it kicks ass for poor people. And their women are sexy as hell. Too bad I don't know any of their languages. lol. Videogames (console systems and console games anyway. Maybe it's different for PC games) are more expensive in Europe though (boo). Must be the import taxes or something. |
He's on welfare and buys all that shit? This is why I don't like welfare, why should a tax payer buy him a HDTV, cellphone, and high-speed internet?
