The new government has presented their budget. Not surprisingly the main ingredients are lowering taxes for people with higher and medium incomes while cutting in the unemployment benefits and paid sick leave.
They also plan to increase the unemployment. They don't say why, but it is probably part of their plan to create a low-wage segment in swedish society so that we also will have people who work more than full time but can't support themselves on their wages; like in the US. It's supposed to be good for people.

In short: they're evil and they hate the sick, the handicapped and anyone less fortunate than themselves. Being born in a working class family, with a chronic disease or handicapped should apparently be punished; since it must be our own fault somehow.

I don't usually attribute people's opinions and actions to malice, stupidity is a much more plausible explanation, but in this case I'm afraid there can't be any doubt. These people are not stupid; they are just totally selfish and lack even the most basic level of empathy.

THe only good thing about the current situation is that it will remind people of why we need a leftist (I won't say "socialist", because the SAP hasn't been that since Palme) government. It seems some people need to be reminded of that every 15 years, and then, just as the damage is getting closer to being fixed, they go and vote for those evil fucks again. I don't get it.

Yes. Reintroduce the pomperipossaskatt! It's unfair that somebody who earns 500 000 a year pays 400 000 in taxes, while somebody who earns 200 000 a year only pays 100 000. Equal taxes for Everyone!!! That will teach people to try and work for a living.
