    if you didn't live in either country and were asked this question, I'm guessing your answer would be different.

    Bernie forgot to mention tax rates in his tweet.  That's seems like an unusual oversight on his part.

    No. Its pretty obvious. 

    Abd with our tax rates that you fear so much and losing big compared to by any quality of life metric - we pay half of your cost in health care. And were pretty expensive compared to other European countries.

    so just go to bed with your me-me-me outllok on society.

    Yep I'll do that gladly with my 24% effective rate.  Thanks.  And you can sleep well in your second rate country as well.  I aim high,  you aim... let's call it mediocre at best.

    I pay 25%. If you are speaking percentage of pay. 

    You still pay double for your healthcare. So be daft if you wish to.

    And show me one Quality of Life metric where Sweden would be "second rate" compared to the US?

    Fucking debate from within reality if you gonna debate. But obviously you are unable to.

    Sorry I didn't know that you were low income.  My bad.  I guess that's why you don't mind other people paying for your standard of living.  I was raised differently.  It's probably just a cultural thing.

    I don't really know what you wanna have said?

    Is it something similar to when you were just posting random links to american museums and were unsure if you could bring your kids there?

    I'm responding to the chart you posted.  Is my 28 days of paid vacation more than none?  My wife got maternity leave and I took family leave to raise my son Joey.  So I guess I was just confused.

    Swedish law of vacation

    The Swedish semester law gives all employees the right to five weeks semester per semester year. Of these you have the right to work for four weeks of coherent holidays in June - August.

    What does the law for workers right in the US say?

    Oh wait:

    There is no legal requirement for employers to provide paid vacation in the USA.

    In the US it's customary to grow up,  move out and make you're own way.  Relying in your mom or the welfare state to keep you afloat is necessary for some I'm sure,  but I think in our culture,  it's not something to be proud of or want to be that way in perpetuity.   That just seems so foreign.
