Some take it off-shore (I think Bono does), but like I said, in the US (for e.g.) the top 20 percent of income earners pay 80 percent of total federal income taxes. The rich pay a lot of tax already.
I don't believe these figures. More precisely, i don't believe that 20% of the US population account for 80% of the individual taxes. I don't know exactly how federal and state taxes break up there.
But that's bad on a moral level and bad on an economic level.
This would be because you say so?
Scandanavian economies are hardly what I would call "powerful". As I think I've already noted, if Sweden were a US state, it would be the poorest in the Union. If it were an ethnic group in the US, it would be at the very bottom.
Having lived in scandinavia and the US, I don't believe these figures.
Not so - no one needs to fight to survive. We have a labour shortage due to our aging populations. There is plenty of work for those that want it.
I was thinking of third world countries which are the closest approximation to the libertarian ideal that we have.
A link to amazon is not an argument.
