China's GDP is terrific, would you like to live there?When presented with facts, lie and run away. That's you my little infant.Quality of Life Index is bullshit propaganda. It's mostly subjective. GDP in terms of PPP is an objective measure. Sweden loses by that score.The hell it doesn't: Quality of Life Index by Country 2015Sweden doesn't have a higher standard of living than the U.S., and it's a misnomer to call Sweden "socialist." It's only slightly more socialist than the U.S.
And" 30 countries with best living standards - Rediff.com Business
GDP in terms of PPP has always been the measure of a nations standard of living. Only leftwing propagandists use made-up yardsticks like "Quality of Life Index." If they came out ahead in GDP, they would use it. However, the fact is that their GDP sucks.
There is more to life than money, and yourself my little infant.
I don't read KOS, and you don't present facts, since you don't know any.Sweden has a Mixed Economy, and as far as you little morons are concerned, with tax rates as high as 50%, is Socialist.
Sweden has about the same ratio of private versus government ownership as does the USA. You lied when you claimed it a "socialist country." Sweden has and continues to reduce social welfare, at a time when Obama's regime in America is dramatically increasing the welfare state (and national debt.)
Don't you grasp that 90% of the shit you read on DailyKOS is flat out lies? Haven't you learned yet that when you repeat those lies here, you will be called on them and humiliated by the facts?
It is mixed, but not mixed enough and your tax bill is nothing like 50%, not even close.The U.S. also has a mixed economy, and I probably have about 50% of my income taxed away by state and local governments. Does that make the U.S. socialist?Sweden has a Mixed Economy, and as far as you little morons are concerned, with tax rates as high as 50%, is Socialist.So Socialist nations are just stupid eh?
So, you are functionally illiterate and incapable of responding to the argument proffered?
I'll inform Sweden, and so many other European nations, all with higher standards of living than the US.
What percentage of the Swedish economy is owned by the state, you drooling moron?
Among the other lies of the left, that "Sweden is socialist" is common. Sweden has a market economy with a (declining) welfare state infrastructure.
And that's not enough for you, that giant emerging economy that makes everything right down to your underpants?

China's per capita GDP is $6,800. That's about 1/10th of our per capital GDP.
The U.S. was a lot higher on the list before Lord Obama ascended the throne.
No, you wouldn't even get close, but you can't do the math just the ideology: How much tax do we really payIt is mixed, but not mixed enough and your tax bill is nothing like 50%, not even close.The U.S. also has a mixed economy, and I probably have about 50% of my income taxed away by state and local governments.

Sure it is, when you add in State, local and federal taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, excise taxes, gasoline taxes and all the other taxes.
When presented with facts, spin, blame immigrants in an immigrant nation, and run away. Got it.The U.S. was a lot higher on the list before Lord Obama ascended the throne.
Those sorts of "lists" are complete bullshit. Sweden (and Norway) are homogeneous societies. If the USA is rated excluding all ethnic minorities, then scores of life expectancy, education, etc. increase to match those of the Nordic states.
Why does this matter? Because the Nordic states HAVE NO ETHNIC MINORITES - simply stated, unless you are born to Swedish parents in Sweden - you are not Swedish. The USA with wide open borders absorbs millions of third world peasants each year. Infant mortality among Mexican peasants is high - even when they have waltzed across the border into California and Arizona.
The shit the Communists post is a deliberate distortion that ignores most of the metrics at work.
It is simply fraud.
And that's not enough for you, that giant emerging economy that makes everything right down to your underpants? What a shame.
No, they don't, not even close.And that's not enough for you, that giant emerging economy that makes everything right down to your underpants? What a shame.
Most Americans pay more than 50% of their income in some form of tax.
Sales, Liquor, Property, TTY, CCR, oh and now Fascist Care - at $50,000 a year.

I see the little morons here ignored this post, as expected.I don't promote a Planned Economy, and never have. I promote a Mixed Economy, and have for decades. And I understand how spreading the wealth creates more wealth and that while capitalism is a great little engine you don't let the engine drive the car. If you weren't so full of yourself you would have known that but you are so insane about anyone who sounds even remotely Marxist that I created this thread just to show how people like you are bonkers and have no idea what they hell they are actually talking about.Dogma...
Fact on a Communist is like salt on a slug; you react violently.
In every market economy in the world - starvation is at best a myth. Not so the centrally planned economies you promote. Death by starvation remains a constant fact of life in nearly all Communist nations, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba, North Korea, Burma. The third world Socialist nations are not much better. Nigeria, Cameroon, Liberia, Venezuela, et al.
What you Communists seek is to punish those whom your envy drives you to hate - and you're more than willing to slaughter hundreds of millions to get your revenge.
Neither. You pay a fair and living wage to those at the bottom.
Yet what you of the left deliver is a starving wage for those in the middle - as long as the middle suffers - then you are happy. You wage eternal war on the Bourgeoisie, the middle class.
Next time, just ask.

Hmmm, from your reference:
Total tax percentage potentially paid by the well above average US citizen, 2013 est. - 58.5% *
When presented with facts, spin, blame immigrants in an immigrant nation, and run away. Got it.

What part about it's not all about money did you miss? Oh right, all the parts that actually matter in the end.When presented with facts, spin, blame immigrants in an immigrant nation, and run away. Got it.
How would you know, all you have presented is fraud.
The USA has a per capita GDP which is 17% higher than Sweden - even with the absorption of 20 million Mexican peasants each decade, the USA exceeds the standard of living of Sweden by 17%
I only looked at the rates, I can't help it that they can't do math.Link it or it's nonsense, which it likely already is since you posted it.No, you wouldn't even get close, but you can't do the math just the ideology: How much tax do we really payIt is mixed, but not mixed enough and your tax bill is nothing like 50%, not even close.

I'm dedicated to making a decent, healthy, sane, secular society with rational economic and social policies that lead to a strong economy and a high standard of living without exploitation, and you little fuckers, all out for Jesus and Number One, are getting in my way so, get out of my fucking country, you don't belong here.I understand that you are dedicated to stopping this.
