The Left’s New Favorite Excuse for Tax Increases

After the current conservative government managed to convince even the Swedish socialist opposition that tax cuts can actually increase tax revenue by encouraging people to work and pay taxes, the Left has found a new strategy.

When facts no longer support their narrative, they switch to emotions and class warfare.

Take Nooshi Dadgostar. After previously naming five specific billionaires she claimed had “bought politicians,” she quickly backtracked when pressed. Instead, she now speaks vaguely about “a billionaire class” that is “eating into our democracy.”

This has become the new all-purpose justification: we must raise taxes to stop the evil billionaires from undermining Swedish democracy.

Remarkable, isn’t it? No matter how a discussion with the Swedish Left begins, it always seems to end in the same place — with higher taxes.
