I mean the basic point is that considering yourself part of a country culturally is ****ing retarded and anyone who does so in 2018 deserves to have their head beat in with a shovel.

No offense to those who need to be bludgeoned to death.

No, just reasonable people who can fix capitalism instead of being so braindead and lazy that they think Marx will show them the way.

And someone who can differentiate between capitalism and corporatism.

Those two idolize Sweden and Norway's worst economic tendencies, so nah.

If you make 60K a year or more in Denmark, you are taxed starting at 60% of your personal income, and Sweden is comparably high. Some people might be okay with that, but I never would be. I doubt FDR would have been either.

And that doesn't even touch upon VAT taxes that suck the life out of smaller businesses. Corporations do okay over there, but businesses below that threshold are miserable.

FDR proposed a 100% top tax rate which eventually became 94%,
so I don't know what you're going on about.
