Re: Working under Socialism
This is categorically false: https://www.theatlantic.com/business...artups/541413/
Stockholm has the second-highest amount of billionaire tech startups per capita behind Silicon Valley in the world. Spotify and a bunch of other companies were founded there. There are also way more startups per capita than here in the U.S.
No one sees Nordic countries as a place to choke your business dreams. It's just not true whatsoever. The numbers back this up all the way.

Re: Working under Socialism
Excellent article with actual facts and examples of how Nordic countries are not socialism
“If Sanders and Ocasio‐Cortez really want to turn America into Sweden, what would that look like? For the United States, it would mean, for example:
1. More free trade
2. A more deregulated product market
3. No Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
4. The abolition of occupational licensing and minimum wage laws
5. The abolition of taxes on property, gifts, and inheritance
6. Even after the recent tax cut, America would still have to slightly reduce its corporate tax
7. America would need to reform Social Security from defined benefits to defined contributions and introduce private accounts
8. The US would also need to adopt a comprehensive school voucher system where private schools get the same per‐pupil funding as public ones.”

Many of these examples should be a clue to why they are not socialist, and how you have more people working. In the US, we pay people to it work. Other countries don’t do that

Re: Working under Socialism
Its also very interesting to note that the corporate tax rates in norway,sweden and finland were sky high in the socialist era. In the 80's and early 90's it was in the 50% range which was way above the world average. Now they're below the the world average in the very low 20% range. Go figger. Jeez what was Trump doing (lowered it)and now what does stupid in office want to do
