Sweden Has a 70 Percent Tax Rate and It Is Fine
It seems strange to me that so much focus of tax is on labor (directly taking a chunk of what people &#x27;earn&#x27; by actually working), vs tax on capital gains and profits (what some people &#x27;earn&#x27; simply by doing nothing).<p>I use the term &#x27;earn&#x27; loosely, because IMHO, the amount of money people manage to direct their way is a result of a complex &#x27;business model&#x27;, and many other factors - I think it&#x27;s way too simplistic to say that someone&#x27;s gross income is &#x27;theirs&#x27;, and that taxes are taking &#x27;their&#x27; money.
