Thursday - I am tired of SD
Election day on Sunday. I am nervous. Really nervous. I felt that it is about time that I comment on the election. I guess it is not that much of a deal if the party, or parties, that I voted for win or not. What has been striking me throughout this whole campaign is the lack of knowledge among the population. The politicians can make up statistics and get away with it without anyone questioning them.
Though what scares me the most are the Swedish Democrats. This is a former racist party that in one sense have abandoned their old standards, but there are hints of them everywhere in their program. The people that vote for this party are mainly men with lower education. People that believe that we spend more than 50 billion SKr on immigrants, that think that all immigrants live on the social welfare instead of getting jobs, that honestly believes that immigrants commit most of the crimes. They want to preserve the Swedish culture, and the family.
This is not the reality. This is not the way Sweden looks like. I don't understand how people can actually think like this. Trying to find an easy solution to the financial problems? Guess what, there is none..
Immigration, due to Sweden not having any kind of assimilation policy, cannot be that expensive. Maximum 1 billion SKr, which I guess would translate to 130 million USD. If looking at a budget of a country, that is not a huge expense. Social welfare, something that is well needed in fiscal crisis. It is a known fact that it is harder to get employed in Sweden with a last name that sounds foreign (read: middle eastern). I strongly oppose the idea that immigrants should be less prone to work than Swedes. That is not our reality.
Imagine the single parents instead with many kids. There you will have people that are in need of Social welfare, even if they have jobs.
Sweden is communal, we have a welfare system. For that to work, we need people and companies to pay taxes. What do you think would be more expensive for the system, physical abuse or not paying your taxes correctly? Any kind of larger fraud against the State is something that will decrease our welfare. I want to believe that we have some kind of utilitarianism left in our minds. Meaning don't do what is best for me or for you, but for all of us. If this does not suit you, then leave so that the tax payers don't have to take care of your medical bills. (Note: the people that try to avoid paying taxes are normally not the people with low income as they cannot trick the system. For this to work you will need to either have your own company or some other way of getting lower tax on your income)
Basically, immigrants are not parasitizing on our system at all in comparison to the Swedes.
It is not bad to pay taxes, without them there is no way that the welfare system would ever be able to work. I don't think anyone thinks that it is in the people's best interest to decrease our welfare. Because that would be dumb. We cannot keep our high standard of living if we decrease taxes. That equation is not balanced.
Please, vote responsibly on Sunday, meaning vote for a party that know what a budget is, hence not the Swedish Democrats. I don't want to be ashamed over my country. Thanks

vad får du den siffran ifrån?
(fast jag vet att du är envisare än en åsna när du bestämt dej för någe så jag antar att det inte ens är en idé att börja argumentera.)

Under den senaste uppsatsen jag skrev om svensk integration så visade sig att budgeten låg på runt 300 miljoner kronor ungefär. Därför skulle det förvåna mig om den överskred en miljard.
