A hospital in Stockholm has gone into a special state of preparedness.
Patients are screaming in the coridoors.
Some have 32 hours waiting time.
Not enough places at the hospital.
We have the world's highest taxes (56% average) and this is what we get 😑
That would not be nice.
The first bracket where you pay income tax in Sweden you pay about 32%
Also employers have to pay an employer tax at about 31%
So in reality the total tax is even higher than what I said in the original tweet!
Then of course high earners get even more...
If you earn $2551 per month
You contribute with $1755 in taxes.
Insane.
The effective tax in Sweden is as follows.
Starts at 47%
Ends at 67%
But that's not all.
You pay 25% tax on most purchases as well.
So even more tax.
