“Sweden is the golden child of Europe”
Things are changing. Sweden featured last night on Fox Business’ The Big Money Show:
Faster growth than EU peers
Lower public debt-to-GDP
Lower inflation
Secure borders
The Wall Street Journal calls it “The World’s Most Surprising Capitalist Makeover.”
Sweden is back.
@Il_Mars_@Sanderandersenn Yes but it is low, if Norwegians would have moved to Sweden they would have gotten an exit tax, because they would move to a country with no wealth tax, after 3 years they can move and probably to Sweden
Förra året betalade Daniel Ek, medgrundare till Spotify 252 miljoner kronor bara i personlig inkomstskatt. Det är budgeten för en mindre kommun.
Att rika betalar "en nästan obefintlig andel i skatt" är ett helt verklighetsfrånvänt påstående.
Sweden has 3.4% unemployment among native-born Swedes. 12-16% among foreign-born.
@elisabethtr calls this a government failure. The data calls it something else.
ETR published a reply in DI today arguing that Sweden’s unemployment crisis proves the current government is failing entrepreneurs and the economy.
She makes some legitimate points.
9 out of 10 foreign entrepreneurs denied residency is real. Salary floors hurting startups is real. These deserve attention.
But her central claim doesn’t hold up.
Sweden’s headline unemployment of around 9% is driven almost entirely by unemployment among foreign-born residents.
Native Swedes are at 3.4%. That gap didn’t appear in the last four years.
It’s the accumulated result of 20 years of failed integration, the direct consequence of policies Centerpartiet championed and defended.
Then she invokes trust. She says you can’t build a society that suspects itself, because it destroys innovation.
But trust didn’t erode because someone pointed at the problem.
Trust eroded because communities were left to deal with rising crime, parallel societies and failed integration while politics spent two decades calling anyone who raised it an extremist.
You cannot invoke trust as your core value while having been a primary architect of the policies that destroyed it.
Inner security is not separate from entrepreneurship.
It is the foundation of it.
No serious investor, no international talent, no founder building for the long term does so in an environment without order and safety.
ETR understands business. She does not seem to understand this connection.
"Varannan invandrad man från Mellanöstern, Nordafrika, Pakistan och Turkiet med födelseår 1987 har dömts för brott vid 35 års ålder. Det visar officiella siffror från Danmarks statistik, offentliggjorda av Udlændinge- og Integrationsministeriet."

@MartinLorentzon Varför pratar ingen någonsin om att en inflation på 2 % är indirekt en förmögenhetsöverföring till staten och den så kallade eliten från ” vanligt folk ” tänk då när vi hade 11 % inflation under Sossarna, snacka om förmögenhetsöverföring.
