Wiki.answers...??? :142smilie
Come on Dogs. Anyone with a computer and an axe to grind can post on Wiki.answers.
AAArrrrggg! I missed that. I thought doggie quoted something from Wikipedia.
Bad doggie.
A lot of Wikipedia content posters have RSS feeds and if you modify their content, they're notified immediately. They usually have erroneous content fixed within minutes.
I remember after the ports bill was passed, someone on here edited Frist's profile to say "if elected to President, he would be the first cat murderer to achieve the office" . . .
You can use wikipedia also are just about any others you want--I think main prob is not what you want to hear--not the source.
So far bout only source I see ya all placing your confidence in is Muffins--I might suggest you don't buy his travel guide :lol:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden
Today, Sweden is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary democracy of government and a highly developed economy.

Sweden's democratic system
Sweden is a parliamentary democracy, which means that all public power proceeds from the people. At the national level, the people are represented by the Riksdag which has legislative power. The Government implements the Riksdag's decisions and draws up proposals for new laws or law amendments.

The Left's Lame New Excuse for Runaway Spending
- Rich Lowry, NY Post
She argued that these goods are things ?the rest of us paid for,? the ?rest of us did.? When it comes to federal income taxes ? the focus of the current debate ? this isn?t right. About half the country doesn?t pay them, and the top 10 percent pays about 70 percent. Insofar as those taxes fund Warren?s public goods, her rich industrialist disproportionately contributes already.
Her remarks and the celebration of them capture the Left?s romance with collective action over individual initiative. Most people don?t look at a successful manufacturer and say, ?Yeah, but he?d be nothing without a surface-transportation network.? Although all of us (not just the rich) travel roads and bridges, few of us open factories.
Focusing on infrastructure as the crucial support of entrepreneurial activity is like crediting the guy who built young Bill Gates?s garage with the start of Microsoft. Yes, Gates needed a roof over his head, and garages are useful. But it was Gates who had the ambition to do more in his garage than store his car and lawn-care products. Incalculably more important than his physical surroundings were his imagination and business sense.

Yep. And the people like their socialist programs.
People in the USA like their socialist programs like Medicare, SS, free schools, unemployment compensation, free mail delivery, free roads and a large military too.
If you ever read anything in world affairs or investments--you know Europe and surrounding countries are on verge of bancruptcy and the U.S. was down graded for 1st time in history--all over your big gov social programs.
--case in point-
to you & yours- Sweden social programs would be utopia--
Their 57% income plus 25% VAT tax would be turn off to me.
--but as always --depends on which end of distribution your on.
Per your statement above-
Not surprising how you look at everything as free-
-they are only free to those who don't pay taxes--if you ever get to that point -you'll understand.
Sad part is-your not by yourself
What made or counrty great was those who came here to get away from being held down by govs--they came to land of opportunity--to able benefit from fruits of their labor.
--unlike you and your base- opportunity to them did not mean "free" ride.
The american dream is what made the 80-20 rule of tax payors to non tax payors was the rule throughout our history.
By the time O's out of office there will be more not paying taxes than those that do. That is how far our society has regressed-
I'm not too optomistic about our future when we so many of population sharing values and identifying with a "the royal family" comprised of grifters-illegals and welfare whores.
--but they certainly share your :00hour on free and Auntie backs your values in video below--with her "we owe her"--rant.
--Your "yes we can" gene pool.
Obama?s aunt is an illegal alien welfare queen.

Conclusion
You and yours need the productive to exist--
--but not only do they not need you--you are in fact-- a proverbial millstone around a productive societies neck.

Here's the truth, doggie: I've paid more taxes than any insurance peddler will ever pay. and I've earned that money by creating things of value, products manufactured in the USA.
Free ride, my ass.
The free rider is you, siphoning off premium dollars and producing nothing of benefit in return.
