[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And that's why Latin America is a mess and their people flood our borders.  They want to escape the disasters they elect. Zero economies because they're decimated by high inflation and disasters of state run enterprises.  Peruvians and Bolivians will have fun waiting in lines for days to get toilet paper like Venezuelans.

No, people “flooding our borders” are fleeing Central American dictatorships that were propped up by the US that turned out to be thugs and/or gave way into drug cartels. Fueled by our war on drugs, by the way. You might want to try reading books instead of watching Fox News. [/quote]

Let's face it - leftist governments and propped up fascist governments have both been a disaster.  Not even including communists b/c that's been a separate disaster altogether.[/quote]

Look at all the Swedes and Dutch desperate to escape [/quote]

It's really cute how much the left in the US holds countries like the Nordics on such a high pedestal.  Sweden?  Really?  It's so obvious how ignorant you are of world history.  Sweden actually DID enact much of the social programs and tax/economic policies that the left in the US thinks we should pursue.  It led to decades of high unemployment, high inflation, and horrible economic growth.  It was until the 90s that Sweden really improved after rejecting far left principles to pursue a moderate approach that actually embraced far more free market capitalist ideas.  Liberals in the US would probably be shocked to learn that Sweden has NO inheritance taxes Sweden has NO wealth taxes:

That's completely opposite of what Dems like AOC and her faction of the Democrat party are calling for. Dems want the govt to confiscate wealth and make it difficult to pass wealth to your family.  Funny how they say they want a Swedish model, then call for exactly opposite of what the Swedes do with respect to taxation.

Also, it's really funny, because the dirty secret of another Nordic like Norway is the fact that they fund massive amounts of their social spending programs through oil and fossil fuels.  Norway has a sovereign wealth fund worth over $1T USD precisely because it invests in so much oil.  How would something like fly with the current Democrat party that has kneecapped the country for producing oil?  Democrats always say that they want a Nordic model, yet they know nothing about the history of Sweden and how it got their, Sweden's lack of taxes on wealth, and Norway's massive wealth derived from fossil fuels, which is a big no-no due to the push from Dems to pursue a green economy.[/quote]

I should also add, Sweden has actually continued to [i]lower[/i] corporate tax rates consistently over the years.....which is again, completely opposite of what politicians like Warren, AOC, Biden, etc. call for.  Something make me believe you really wouldn't want to be like Sweden at all, because they're far too capitalist. [/quote]
It’s 20% in Sweden. On paper in the US it’s 21%, but we all know that it’s basically 0%. So you would support corporations paying their fair share?

Also LOL at you assuming that everyone is as ignorant as you are about how Scan countries operate. [/quote]

ahahhahaa...

angry dem mad sweden continually cuts corporate taxes....which blows up their entire narrative.  The point is the direction Sweden is headed - the rate of change is continually negative for corporate taxes in Sweden, because they're not dumb and realize it is a competitive advantage.  Complete and exact opposite of AOC/Warren/etc.[/quote]

But they don’t have open borders and esol sanctuary cities like we do! So we’re winning that! [/quote]
