<p>but isnt school,medical facilities free in sweden…</p>
<p>amounts to the same thing then u kno…</p>
<p>Doesn’t matter. I’m not going back there. Out of the question. (I feel strongly about this – can you tell?)</p>
<p>Oh the scandinavian taxes…my parents have been paying them for the past 18 years. They really do like to fleece us people…even a really good salary of over a million NOK gets massacred by the progressive tax system</p>
<p>^Seriously! My parents make $120,000/year before taxes but are left with less than $60,000 after taxes. And we live in the US, so it’s not like we get any of the benefits–on the contrary, everything is more expensive here because people aren’t taxed so outrageously and are instead expected to pay up. It’s the worst of both worlds.</p>
<p>Lol yeah. I’m so glad that my dad is working in Korea at the moment. All his $120K tax free at least to us, or maybe its just Samsung that is paying the other 120K back to norway thanks to this Norway-Korea tax deal. dunno how it is, but I’m pretty certain the fkin government is following us wherever we go…trying to grab our money.</p>
<p>But i guess this is the price we pay for having the highest living standard in the world…</p>
