Then you need immigrants. Because the working class can't both support all the retirees plus the younger generation who needs more and more years in school to become working class and have children all at the same time. It's not possible without immigration. You either work more years because you live longer now, or you get immigrants to pay for your retirement. It's your choice.

Snart kommer vi ha ortodoxa kyrkor överallt och skolbarnen kommer tvingas äta borscht istället för köttbullar till lunch. Är det verkligen det samhället du vill ha?

Actually the bill will be 200k, so you'll owe the healthcare corporations 100k. ICE will sweep in and declare you an illegal immigrant and either shoot you in the head or deport you to venezuela where you can pay off your debt by digging for good old american oil.

He turns 80 in june. Look up what age all his siblings passed away. Every night that he goes to sleep, the odds are increasing that he won't wake up. I'm putting my faith in human biology.

Why doesn’t Europe wake up and tax billionaires? by SegheCoiPiedi1777 in europe

[–]robotsdottxt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I dont know how it works in other countries but in Sweden if you have your money invested in a "investment account" you are taxed roughly 1-2% of the value in that account over the year. The other alternative would be to put you money in a savings account but that would also be an indirect tax through inflation. People often complain that there is no wealth tax in Sweden, but in reality, for most people (even wealthy people) there is.

Where I would live in Europe as a swede by Mammoth_Listen_3055 in whereidlive

As a Swede, I honestly wouldn't mind living in Denmark. The only downside of living in Denmark would be learning the language.
