Of course they did. France and the UK are now going to see the worst of it.
My fear is that the liberals will be able to get the economy growing and many will never wake up. All you need to control people and stay in power is to provide people with jobs, good healthcare and childcare, some nice benefits, worker protections, and a few other nice things, and the people seem happy with it and don't ask any questions. Heck, if liberals provided those for me, I would vote for them too, at least, if I didn't know any better. Even then, it would be a struggle.
I don't think the liberals have it in them. They'll just double-down on stupid, like they have done all along. They've been headed in the opposite direction for so long, I don't think they would know how to not cheat and steal from the people, or to do anything they want. The leaders don't listen. They just try to strong-arm everyone into submission while robbing the government coffers behind the taxpayers' backs.
Who pays for the good healthcare and childcare, some nice benefits, Although top earners in Sweden are taxed more than 50% of their personal incomes - one of the highest rates in Europe - he argues that successive governments - on the right and left - have adjusted some taxes in a way that favours the rich.May 5, 2024
I'm fine with top earners paying more taxes. I'm done defending billionaires while the rest of us are getting chump change. All of them turn out to be left leaning anyway, so let's just give them what they want and tax the crap out of them.
I’m awaiting the reaction.
