Would You Choose More Money or Less Hours?

There's a component of algorithm combined with psychology in the rates. The idea is to let people get wealthy but the incentive to get even more wealthy diminishes as your income increases.

Isn't how that one of the Nordic countries' taxation system work? They seem to be pretty happy with it.

That's precisely how it works until you have to host a parasite culture yes.

Their immigrants don't work and pay taxes?

I can't fathom a reality in which I work half time for the same level of comfort I provide my family right now, but if it were possible, I'd rather have more time to invest in my wife and daughter. That is very important to me.

If Sweden wasn't socialist, meaning their tax system is used for "fairness" rather than increasing liberty, it'd be fine. I'd want the emphasis placed on individuals getting wealthy themselves rather than creating equality, whatever that is.

NO!

So there are no jobs available?

Wouldn't the system you're proposing result in increased 'fairness'?

NO!

No not really actually. That's a fair point. Another is that their immigrant population is actually already used to getting something for nothing. That's one of the methods they are kept in line with.

"Fairness" is a subjective word used to gain control. What is "fair" to you is probably not "fair" to me. I think people getting wealthy through their own choices (and luck) is fair, but there is about half the nation that thinks everyone having the same thing is fair. So, I guess as long as you go along with what I call "fair" then, yeah, my proposed system increases fairness.

You could always keep people in line by convincing them they ought to push pipe 6 days a week, 12 hours a day in order to survive.
