All of those exist today and constitute 50+ years of mismanagement (or malice) by both the **** AND the Dimocraps (more specifically, the masters they serve)
The DSA didn't even gain any notoreity until AOC appeared in 2016.
Pretty sure the DSA wants everyone to be happy little **** ( with shackles on) just like in Sweden.https://share.google/rWQ43fPBLkzD3DzeK
The challenge for social democrats in America is how to pay for this larger government. In Sweden, contrary to rhetoric that the wealthy pay a disproportionate share of taxes, government spending is paid for by much higher taxes on middle-class workers and families.
For example,
Sweden’s top personal income tax rate of 52.3 per cent is comparable to America’s top rate of 50.3 per cent (in California), but Sweden’s top rate applies to income starting at roughly US$62,000 compared to America’s top rate, which kicks in at between roughly US$535,000 and US$1 million depending on the state. Clearly, the top personal income tax rate in Sweden applies to many average Swedish workers and families.
Moreover, Sweden’s national sales tax rate (25 per cent) is one of the highest in the industrialized world, which again applies to average workers and families. The U.S. has no national sales tax, and state and local sales taxes range from zero in four states to 9.55 per cent in Louisiana. And Sweden also has a comparatively high payroll tax rate at 31.4 per cent.
The consequence of Sweden’s tax policies is clear—average Swedes bear the burden of higher government spending.
The DSA will eventually have to put up some numbers which will kill their little fantasy!
