I don't know. Even though as I make $105K per year (minimum) I would gain very much from a flat tax, I'm not sure if it's fair.

Hard question. I might be brainwashed by Swedish socialist values of equality.

Well, Sweden isn't really socialist. It's more of a social democracy, and yes, you've been brainwashed into thinking that they really care about equality.

Indeed Sweden is a mixed economy between capitalism and socialism, and it has worked so well in practice producing a harmonic society (although the economic policy is only one factor, our hard working Lutheran heritage might be an even stronger factor to explain our success, as well as Christianity in general, and the humble Northern European mentality on top of it all) that even I, a person who is an extreme right wing conservative nationalist, think that it's quite a decent model.

But why do you imply that our model, the Scandinavian model, isn't mainly about equality?
