Homeless
Coming back from surgery and I'm heavilly drugged with Morphine derivates so excuse me if I'm not cohorent.
The leftists want to highten the taxes if they win the next election. The usual excuse is the Keynsian-socialistic thinking of redistribution of wealth. Take from the rich- give it to the poor.
At first hand it sounds nobel.
But what really happens?
Heavy taxation of [all] people will not take people of the streets. That's a fact!
We got maybe a couple of thousands homeless people in Sweden. Mainly in the city areas of Stockholm, Göteborg and Malmö.
Yes, we are and we should feel sorry for these people and help them.
BUT!
There are no homeless people in arctic Lapland! How come? That's a brainteaser- is it not?

Hey! I'm glad you're back!
Hope all went well.
As for "Heavy taxation of [all] people will not take people of the streets. That's a fact!" That is unquestionably true. In fact, taxing the productive to "help" the non-productive," merely subsidizes bad/unproductive/self-destructive behavior at the expense of productive behavior. What we subsidize or reward, we get more of, and what we tax, punish or burden we get less of...so the natural end result of all Keynesian/socialistic policies is LESS productive behavior and MORE self-destruction.
