Sweden and other nordic countries have been well known in the last few years for their amazing conditions overall... And for immigrants that go there to abuse the system.
I don't know how taxes are up there, but as a working European citizen, I'm completely pissed that my tax money goes to junkies in rehab and people who have 100 children, receive money for each one of them, treat them like shit, don't educate them and spend all their time and money drinking coffee and tea by the seaside while I'm working and actually doing something for myself (and my country).
One of the reasons I'm around here... With Bitcoin I don't have to give satisfactions to anyone but myself, and I don't have to pay any taxes. I would give up paying taxes and the perks I have by paying them any day.
By paying taxes, I get free assistance on public hospitals. I would give up this in a heartbeat if I could keep the money. I don't use hospitals often, fortunately, and if I needed one, I could go to a better, private hospital, with the money I was saving by NOT paying taxes (although this is slowly starting to change, public hospitals are starting to be quite acceptable).
In conclusion, all our countries have debts they have to pay with our tax money and they have to look good from the outside, saying they help those who need.
There are other injustices in tax paying and "helping" those who "need" with that money, but that's an issue for another topic
