Why not a tax on women for nagging?
Tue Oct 5,10:55 AM ET STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A group of Swedish parliamentarians proposed levying a "man tax" to cover the social cost of violence against women.
"It must be obvious to all of us that society has a huge problem with male violence against women and that has a cost," Left Party deputy Gudrun Schyman told Swedish radio on Monday.
"We must have a discussion where men understand they as a group have a responsibility," said Schyman, one of the party members to sign the motion for debate on the new tax.
Sweden already has the highest taxes in the European Union as a percentage of gross domestic product to pay for its famous but hard-pushed cradle-to-grave welfare program.
It is also one of the world's most advanced nations in terms of gender equality, but Schyman said in a headline-hitting 2002 speech that discrimination in Sweden followed "the same pattern" as in Afghanistan under the Taliban.

How is Sweden's immigration policy- sounds good cradle to the grave welfare. Now I too can move to a foreign country where I don't speak the language and live off the tit. Secondly I have to imagine violence going up after the guys have to pay even MORE taxes- Great idea people

the guns in school thing is overrated-i doubt someone even opened fire weekly in my day 7 or 8 years ago.
all of the scandanavian countries do have great standards of living, but they do it at the cost of fish for breakfast. more seriously, any country who doesn't have massive amounts of poor first-generation residents coming in is at a huge advantage for quality of life shit, but they're doing it through isolationist and racist policies.

kids with guns in school, oh the times, oh the morals. violence is a relative thing, our founding fathers fucking killed each other in pistol duels. manifest destiny manifested itself thanks to gats, people used to hunt out of moving traincars and you were a queer if you hadn't killed an apache by 11. be thankful people are really only able to get their hands on things a little more potent than a decent .45 revolver, in the bulk of countries the bad guys just blow up your car with an rpg. i'm not complaining until land mines exceed mailboxes.
