I think its because most of the flattening of the income mainly touches the 99% because the income taxation isn’t that effective for owning people as they often get their money from owning stuff instead of earning a salary
Ah okay. So, Sweden managed to iron the glassfloor to the top. It isn’t possible for standard and even top performers to get to the 1% as they will always rely income with high taxation for a living. With this perspective my country (Germany) seems to be hard but it might be possible.
We aren’t much better off over here, don’t fool yourself. Don’t make the mistake of buying into the same empty promises of “yes it sucks almost everyone is poor and virtually nobody makes it out, but if i do it right I will” - no you won’t.
Chances for literally winning the lottery are higher than being a hard, honest worker playing by the rules and making it big.
I can’t underwrite your „almost everyone is poor“ I’ve been in countries where families live in houses out of cardbox. Kids with just one leg. Girls being sold. In Europe is nobody poor! If you write this, it’s a slap in the face of the poor in the south.
