isn't Sweden one of those countries that tax europeans for even thinking
about Sweden.
that is, the tax laws are oppression, according to the main-stream media (in
the USA).
expatriots pay the same rate as in-country citizens.
Swedish busnesses pay on all their earnings not just Sweden-related
earnings.
there are equal numbers of people on welfare and employed citizens.
individual and businesses are leaving at a steady rate.

All this to say, the main stream media (USA) presents Sweden as "working"
now but not in the future.
