Isn't Sweden the country with the highest taxes in the world?

I guess the Swedish government must really be running out of stupid ways to waste taxpayers' money. This really takes the cake.

Yes but: they also have the highest standard of living, the best infrastructure, the best public services, as well as zero poverty.

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR - at least THEY do!

It Ain't Swden: It ain't Sweden that's wasting close to a trillion dollars and thousands of citizen's lives in a pointless war in Iraq !

An Embassy?: Okay....

Can a criminal, wanted for a crime in the USA, log on to second life, go to the virtual embassy and ask for sanctuary?
