@GatekeepKen Is this another one of these 100% wrong the-opposite-of-what-America-does memes? These countries have pretty low taxes on capital income nowadays. Sweden's 50%+ income tax (more like 67% taking employer-side payroll taxes into account) is on high wage income; capital income taxes are much lower than that - for example, capital gains are taxed 30%, vs. 20% in the US.
