I live in Sweden. People are not leaving* our country to find jobs. We don't pay 100% taxes. Normal tax rate is 33%. I myself run a small company, with myself as the only employee, and my tax rate is closer to 49%. That's 16% extra for health care, school, police etc. My country is not perfect. But I'm never afraid of not getting health care etc. I know my children can go to college even if we aren't super rich. College is "free" (we all pay taxes for that). You actually GET PAID to go to college. Not much, but a few hundred bucks a month. I never went to college but i gladly pay my share for those who do. Why? Because when I get sick I know that I will be taken care of thanks to all the doctors that went to college. My children will have education for 12 years (and then college). We have excellent roads. Low crime (of course there is still crime to certain degree). etc. And if someone want to go abroad and work they can do that. We live in a free country with open boarders to the rest of the EU and to the rest of the world. We learn english from the age of 7 or 8 so we can communicate with others etc. Half of my family is Swedish and half is American. Both countries are great and both have flaws. Let's learn from each other. *of course people move around and take jobs in other countries some times but it's not like we immigrate to find jobs. ^^
@@vihockeyguy1 usa protector of the world?!! my ass. usa could not care less without a an exchange. sweden can dfend herself just like what finland did in a war with russia.
as a citizen of scandinavia im getting sick and tired of the american propaganda about us, we do not pay anywhere close to 100% in taxes... please stop mentioning us, you clearly cannot comprehend what we are...
We need to pay people living wages and increase taxes on corporate vampires. When people can not afford to live and purchase the things they need, then our economy will collapse. Anytime governments or monarchs overtax the working citizens into starvation, then the masses revolt with violence. Trump is narcissistic, he does not care about anyone outside his family.
gtpk35 True, but that’s a gross simplification of our (Sweden’s) laws. Yes, we don’t have a minimum wage. But we also have really strong union laws, which give stronger negotiating rights to workers in a given field as a group, rather than as individuals. So while we don’t have a national minimum wage, we do have minimum wages within different fields of work that has been negotiated by their respective unions (a so called “working agreement”, that also includes stuff like working hours, raises, payment during sick leave, vacation etc). 90% of available jobs in Sweden have working agreements like this that applies to everybody in their field, even people just starting out. And yes, even at places like McDonalds. Unlike in the US, companies can’t bully us around. We have rights, and we have people who fight for and enforce those rights. So when people use Sweden as an example of a country that don’t have a minimum wage, they’re leaving out a large (and critical) piece of the puzzle.
Ana kicked ass! I love when Ana takes on the right wing crazies and shows the world how they are deliberately twisting the truth. Ana if you do read this, I'm proud of you!
I like when TYT actually talks about POLICY in detail. But with IMMIGRATION, they never do that. 🤔. Instead they try 2 make u feel either racist or feel sorry for not supporting illegal immigration. So they are TRICKING us into voting AGAINST our own best interest with illegal immigration. When are we gonna WAKE UP!!! smh
@delia ratcliff No! Why? Because it requires you to spend more and more of your GDP per year to afford it. Why is this, because it removes demand restrictions (unlimited demand) Why is this bad? because in the unfortunate event that you overuse the Healthcare system...you end up spending 60% of your GDP strictly on Healthcare that means less funding for everything else. So no I dont want the government to tax me for services Im not required to use and that others are too lazy to work to pay for.
@delia ratcliff Youre making my argument for me...in the event you need an expensive surgery (complex healthcare)...and you subsidize the cost (M4A)...and the government cant pay for it, because you have a 250% raise in Hospital demand for problems like the flu the common cold etc...then you dont get your hc because no doctor will be available for you.
I live in Canada and igrew up in a poor family in a rural area with terrible education and my parents were older than average. Without our social programmes I would've never gotten anywhere in my life. Not everyone who wants handouts are looking to become welfare Queens. Most of us just want a boost to help us achieve our goals. And I am now probably paying more in taxes than I've EVER received from social assistance. And I don't mind because there are people out there who need it just as much as I did.
I used to wish Ana was as articulate as she was passionate. I got my wish. Without losing any of her passion, she has become one of the best articulators of progressive positions in the media. And Cenk is brilliant at tweaking, modulating, highlighting, and encouraging Ana's contributions to the show.
I'm Danish... I'm not a socialist, but I'm fully aware that our democratic socialists are NOT in agreement with our *actual* socialists on many things. Actually... last time they were in government together the socialists quit in protest. And we don't have 100% taxation. And we have private schools too... and we are not a "socialist" country. The amount of ignorant idiocy spewed by the US right wing is simply unbearable.
Here in Denmark, not only does people get a completely college education, but college students actually get paid for going to college. And it isn't meant as a handout, it's to ensure that the students can study without having to work a full time job, just to pay their bills. However, unless they wanna live in very poor conditions, or are lucky enough to have someone who can, and is willing to help them out financially. Then they will have to get a part time job, or get a lot of roommates to spit their living expenses with. Our government does this, because they understand, that well adjusted students, makes for a more proficient work force, after graduation. Which in turn strengthens our economy. You can't expect people to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, if they can't even afford to buy a pair of boots.
Yeah, and I never have to worry about my health care. Our cops are well funded so they don't have to perform civil forfeiture. In general, our emergency serves and education system is well funded. Our cops are well trained, so I have no fear of calling them. Cause I know that no one will get assaulted or shot by them. You can only get that if you pay into the system. And in the end, we pay less then we would if we didn't pay as much taxes. But no, we don't pay 80% in taxes. Right at the moment, we pay a little over half of any money we make. To be specific, we pay 55.8% in taxes, which is 6.5% less then we did in 2008. So we've actually been pay less taxes over the last 10 years. And we're still going strong. I would never in my life, dream of immigrating to the US. I have nothing to gain from it, apart from a worse life.
I'm a Canadian. Democratic socialism works. I broke my foot last year. The only stuff I paid for were the more luxurious options for casts and crutches.

You go girl! Ana I love your politics but your style is unbelievable. You fight for the working men and women of this country along with the elderly, poor and disenfranchised, you are a TRUE YOUNG TURK. KEEP UP THE FIGHT! GET UP STAND UP, STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS!
Hi Ana- I don't know how often you guys read your comments but I am 18 years old and have been watching The Young Turks for a few years now. This fall I am headed off to a political science university, and I want you to know that you are a huge role model of mine. The eloquence in your defense on this panel of the progressive ideals that I am so passionate about is very inspiring. Thanks for another great video guys!
mati Well, you think socialism is a great idea. You will change your mind when you get older. Capitalism allows people to improve their lives. This is how it should work. You get a job, pay your taxes, save money and spend money on what you need. What is so hard to understand. That's the nuts and bolts of capitalism.
I'm 100% sure that if Ana runs for office she WILL win. She is a great communicator and she comes across as very informed and confident. Ana, I think you have to be the one to take down Dianne Feinstein. Can you imagine how that debate would go? Ana would absolutely WRECK Dianne.
I`m Norwegian, In my country, and the Nordic countries, Nobody need to go bankrupt if you need helthcare, nobody need to go to the bank, or have rich parents if you need higher education. And no, we are no socialist countries. Country like Cuba or Venezuela is Socialist country. Of course, we pay high tax on the salary, alcohol and cigarettes,, but hey, we dont pay 100% TAX!! , i pay 28%but i bet nobody want to have the same system as in US. Healthcare and education are basic rights in most of the world,
It's about time people stop being nice and started being real.. that doesn't mean being disrespectful. It means being assertive and truthful and not letting them run over us.
Ana said something very prescient in that HLN segment. She rephrased the conversation. Instead of defending attacks that the Dems have moved far to the left, she went on the offense, admonishing the fact that the right had moved far to the right. This statement needs to be made often and loudly. Remind them over and over that they absolutely are in the wrong and don't let them get away with thinking they have a leg to stand on in this argument.
As a Norwgian, I can tell you that what a lot of the American Right-Wingers say about socialism and how we (apparently) live out lives in Scandinavia, is laughable. There's a reason my whole family (even the right-wingers) laugh of what the Conservatives have to say about our country.
'The reason you guys are the way you are, is just because you can't be America' and 'That you guys actually had to deregulate and drop corporate taxes, and tax the shit out of your poor people to make it work?' - All jokes aside, do you actually believe in what you are saying? You just tried to attack me but ended up proving my point.
hahaha look at all these fools tryin' to hate :D Thanks for sharing, more americans should care about what the world thinks of us, but i guess it's hard for them to see outside of their own ignorant bubbles
Congratulations, over 80% of your sub 6million person population are ethnic Norwegians, makes it much easier to agree on things when EVERYONE shares cultural values. Invite as much immigration as America has and see if things still run so smoothly, more people live in Philadelphia than all of Norway :) 🇺🇸
I love watching Ms Kasparian kick ass and take names. She has my undying support for her honesty intelligence and above all grace under fire. I would like her to know she is not alone in her foxhole. Plenty of people are standing behind her willing her to succeed in getting some of the rock headed people she talks to understand that crony capitalism will eventually sink the beautiful dream that the USA represents to the world.
Anna! You are the example of a strong educated confident spokes person and why? Because you read up on what you share and believe in. I love listening to you speak and informing even those who think they know. You are such a huge value to TYT and to anyone that has the opportunity to listen to you speak. Much success in your future.
Cenk and Ana, you're absolute REAL HEROS. I don't see many other channels that have such a very balanced view of how the socio-political world works. Your amazing moral compass is so accurate, and well weighted. Many thanks for standing up for the unfortunate.
Maybe Not Norway and other European nations are not socialist period. They have some social policies but that doesnt make them socialist countrys. What western Europe does to pay for their social programs is raising taxes on everyone to pay for those programs. At the same time they attract bussiness by keeping corporate taxes low and the country bussiness friendly. If the US wants to have such a society they have to cut military spending almost entirely and they have to raise taxes on everyone in the US. Trump got the corporate tax rate to median European levels but to attract even more bussiness he needs to slash those taxes even more. Prepare to see gas prices rise with at least fifty percent and the list goes on and on. That is the only way to pay for those massive increases in government spending. I dont believe the American people will ever be happy to pay almost half of their income on income taxes.
Ana exemplifies why the media needs to grow some balls,,,, or perhaps, maybe not? lol Love it when someone shows spine, and cuts through the bs. The US needs more people of the same caliber as Ms.Kasparian.
Canada has higher tax rates then some of the Scandinavian countries. (I think our taxes are spent badly) but still ours are high. I don't mind. I like knowing my taxes are paying for cancer treatment, medical, schools, parks, ect.
In excess of $1Trillion a year spent on war, and dealing death to impoverished peoples abroad (DoD, DHS, Intel agencies of which there are too many, black book projects and ops, etc.). The money is there already. It's just a matter of what/who we spend it to help.
I wish Ana could get on more of these shows. I love it because she don't let shit slide. Keep it us Ana. I loved the stats guys, more like those please. Maybe I can remember them in talks with my friends who don't have a clue.
Our *top* priorities in this country should be S.T.E.M., health care, education, civil maintenance, and national defense. In that order! Our budget and resources should be focused on that. We should start by getting the money we need by stop wasting money on useless walls, lowering the money we spend of defense and war mongering, taking away the tax cuts for the rich, and imposing a tax range of 10 to 20% based off income. You have more you pay more. What we have now is f'ing *ridiculous!*
Democratic socialism is about rights and freedom. Without opportunity for health and education for all we are not free, let’s help redirect the narrative. We are calling for the expansion of rights for the purpose of greater freedom and opportunity in the pursuit of happiness.
I think it also has to do with the leftovers of Cold War propaganda against the USSR. Communism evil! Waaahhh! Socialism evil! Waaahhh! Marxism evil! Waaahhh!!
A 100% tax!!!! Wow I pay over 20% in taxes now and living in the crack of the estimated 8% that have no healthcare and can't afford it. I would gladly pay higher taxes if it meant healthcare for everyone because right now I feel that I pay 20%+ just to get told that I'm the problem.
In Canada, we live in a country that has capitalist opportunity, but believe in a strong social safety net as well. Single-payer health care is NOT a handout, but American conservatives attempt to frame the discussion in a way that benefits corporations - who profit handsomely from private for-profit healthcare.
I am Scandinavian (Danish) have free worldclass healthcare, free education and the worlds best welfare system should I need it. I make my living running a small company, am not a socialist. We see the "free" stuff as a basic human right. Btw I pay 38% income tax.
Well, in Sweden (and in Denmark I assume) there is also the employers fee that is not deducted from wages but payed on top by employers. It is proportional to wages so in effect it is a tax on income from work. Taxation feels brutal but still nowhere near 100% income tax, even in the highest tax brackets. Guess she has a problem with percentages and doesn’t understand that tax brackets only apply to a portion of the income, not the entire income.
Ana should be the TYT debating champ moving forward. She is on fire. Killed the immigration debate on CNN , slaughtered Ann Coltour at Politicon debate and now this... This woman needs a raise. She knows her stuff!
Troy ani I actually think Ben could have done better. I have Cenk on that one. Barely, though. The problem with Ben is that he think he is smarter than what he actually is. Now, I'll give you the D'Souza debate. He kept it simple and although his points were erroneous at best, Cenk resorted to adhominem attacks instead of sticking to the issues.
Holy shit, kasparian was awesome in that panel. I would love to see her called up to the big leagues and appear on some of the main stream networks to crush their regulars. Complete pundit destruction
Rex Evans it's so dumb. I just wish with all my heart that some people were smart enough to not actually BUY that crap. But they do. It's so disheartening
And if I had to guess, she has no idea the US was both taxing the rich at 90%, and funding the absolute most monstrous fascist movements all throughout the globe 70 years ago.
Hi guys, greetings from Liverpool England. As someone who regards myself as a Democratic Socialist I'm always amazed how in America the term Socialist is always used by people who have no clue what Socialism is to define people as extremists. One example of a non-controversial Socialist institution in the UK is our National Health Service. Health care provision is based on need, not on the ability to pay, and is, (shock horror) paid for by taxation. Bye the way, year after year in poll after poll, the most loved institution (by Socialists and Conservatives alike) in the UK is, the National Health Service, it even beats our Royal Family. When I watch the political discourse in the USA I'm reminded of the words of Mark Twain, " It's much easier to fool people than it is to convince them they've been fooled".
Hi, Sweden here, I pay 25% income tax and have practically free healthcare. I pay about 20% of my income ( after tax) on rent. I have plenty money left to spend on my six weeks yearly paid vacation.
The Personal Income Tax Rate in Sweden stands at 61.85 percent. Personal Income Tax Rate in Sweden averaged 56.78 percent from 1995 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 61.85 percent in 2017 and a record low of 51.50 percent in 2000.
All emigrants I know, and theres a lot around in my part of the country, work and pay their taxes. Not a problem. You can start your pension at 61 if you choose, but if you work longer your pension will be higher.
Git I didn't assume you are rich, I just felt like posting an average...also hows the "free" college in Sweden? I heard it getting more expensive every year?
My friend came over from Germany and they have job sharing where you work 36 hours and get paid for 40 hours to allow more people to work and this helps the whole country out
I would never change my life here in Denmark for anything that come's out of USA.......... You created all the problems yourself !!! Now deal with it ..... ;-) Great job TYT ...
I love it when Ana debates people hehehe- she’s so ferocious. Just love her. And BOOM. mic drop. As close to a perfect answer as they come. Nothin/nobody is perfect- BUT we have our moments! that was one of hers. Close enough to perfect 👌
Norway is the odd Scan out, though! This is Frozen Saudi Arabia... You use the funds from selling your black death far more wisely than Saudi... but that's a pretty low bar.
90% of my family has graduated from the University of Oslo! 👏👏👏👏 We are from Texas! Free college is freaking awesome! ( some of my family have become citizens of Norway! 😁😁😁)
I'm Canadian, and I'm a democratic socialist, and the way we see it, WE through government provide healthcare to everyone. The phrasing "the government provides" seems to indicate there is an overbearing agency running our lives.
I ran a small business. Had family who ran small businesses. Some who operated franchises. For the longest time, I was so intrigued by the co-op business model, and I am currently chewing on starting another business under that umbrella. I don't much care for the term socialist, because it seems like a lot of DSA members are anti-capitalist, and I love a free market. Ignorant me learned a couple of months ago that internationally democratic socialists are in favor of co-ops (perhaps even its American members don't fully understand this). I love the free market, and I love social programs, and I believe in a mixed economy too. Not only is the corporate business model unethical but it is imploding on itself. It hasn't been around for that long but resembles feudalism in a lot of ways. It's not working. It's reached its limit. No job security, no living wages, stockholders cheating the numbers, creates monopolies, kills small business. We need to adapt to changing economies. Gig and share economies are interesting too, but we need things like healthcare to provide them benefits they deserve. Thank you for breaking this down. I don't think a lot of people understand the red scare or what they're actually scared about, even hardcore sickle and hammer folks.
holy crap! Another intelligible person showing up in the TYT chat! What is going on?! I am so accustomed to trolls that it is a breath of fresh air...I've been saying for the longest time large companies are shooting themselves in the foot by keeping wages low and in general healthcare being almost unattainable for some, if not most...when more individuals have more money to spend, it spikes our economy! At the end of the day, large corps. make even more capital! It's a win win
Ana is the bomb! Michelle Obama said "take the high road" I'm tired of taking the high road. I'm tired of being nice. You're both right , we have to have facts and be strong. Dont let the right wing tell us what's what

And no, we are no socialist countries. Country like Cuba or Venezuela is Socialist country. Of course, we pay high tax on the salary, alcohol and cigarettes,, but hey, we dont pay 100% TAX!! , i pay 28%but i bet nobody want to have the same system as in US. Healthcare and education are basic rights in most of the world,
It's about time people stop being nice and started being real.. that doesn't mean being disrespectful. It means being assertive and truthful and not letting them run over us.
Laurette LaLiberte Actually, I'm pretty sure it means you've passed the audition for the next season of "The Real World."
Ana said something very prescient in that HLN segment. She rephrased the conversation. Instead of defending attacks that the Dems have moved far to the left, she went on the offense, admonishing the fact that the right had moved far to the right. This statement needs to be made often and loudly. Remind them over and over that they absolutely are in the wrong and don't let them get away with thinking they have a leg to stand on in this argument.
As a Norwgian, I can tell you that what a lot of the American Right-Wingers say about socialism and how we (apparently) live out lives in Scandinavia, is laughable. There's a reason my whole family (even the right-wingers) laugh of what the Conservatives have to say about our country.
'The reason you guys are the way you are, is just because you can't be America' and 'That you guys actually had to deregulate and drop corporate taxes, and tax the shit out of your poor people to make it work?' - All jokes aside, do you actually believe in what you are saying? You just tried to attack me but ended up proving my point.
@@maikentangen4470 We don't care what Norwegians think of us. Your opinion has ZERO value
hahaha look at all these fools tryin' to hate :D Thanks for sharing, more americans should care about what the world thinks of us, but i guess it's hard for them to see outside of their own ignorant bubbles
Congratulations, over 80% of your sub 6million person population are ethnic Norwegians, makes it much easier to agree on things when EVERYONE shares cultural values. Invite as much immigration as America has and see if things still run so smoothly, more people live in Philadelphia than all of Norway :) 🇺🇸
Isn’t your entire country white? Like, 95% or more?
I love watching Ms Kasparian kick ass and take names. She has my undying support for her honesty intelligence and above all grace under fire. I would like her to know she is not alone in her foxhole. Plenty of people are standing behind her willing her to succeed in getting some of the rock headed people she talks to understand that crony capitalism will eventually sink the beautiful dream that the USA represents to the world.
m'Lady
This is one of the best TYT segments I've ever watched. Ana, you did a great job, I'm so proud of you.
I would like for Ana to appear as a guest on The View. It would be really interesting to have her progressive and WELL informed view against McCain.
Please
Democratic Socialist AKA Communist!
Hahaha well informed huh?
I love ana
yazminsmileyface if I remember correctly Ana and Ms. McCain are/were friends or at least friendly at one time.
Thank you. Please keep fighting for us. You have our voices
You go girl! We need more in the media that are willing to shut down lies and spin.
You are awesome Ana. Don't let the strawman tactics from the Right go unchallenged. You are a champ.
damn Ana on fire lately. Keep it up!
Anna! You are the example of a strong educated confident spokes person and why? Because you read up on what you share and believe in. I love listening to you speak and informing even those who think they know. You are such a huge value to TYT and to anyone that has the opportunity to listen to you speak. Much success in your future.
🤡
lmfao I busted out laughing when she said "look how bad those Scandinavian countries are doing!"
I want to see Ana on more panels like that on TV! You’re awesome!
I love it when Ana comes down on people with all the facts and kicks their ass.
Cenk and Ana, you're absolute REAL HEROS. I don't see many other channels that have such a very balanced view of how the socio-political world works. Your amazing moral compass is so accurate, and well weighted. Many thanks for standing up for the unfortunate.
Socialism HAS SUCCEEDED
in countries like Norway.
Don't ignore Europe. There ARE MANY SUCCESSFUL socialist governments!!
Maybe Not Norway and other European nations are not socialist period. They have some social policies but that doesnt make them socialist countrys.
What western Europe does to pay for their social programs is raising taxes on everyone to pay for those programs.
At the same time they attract bussiness by keeping corporate taxes low and the country bussiness friendly.
If the US wants to have such a society they have to cut military spending almost entirely and they have to raise taxes on everyone in the US.
Trump got the corporate tax rate to median European levels but to attract even more bussiness he needs to slash those taxes even more.
Prepare to see gas prices rise with at least fifty percent and the list goes on and on.
That is the only way to pay for those massive increases in government spending. I dont believe the American people will ever be happy to pay almost half of their income on income taxes.
Ana is a national treasure!
Keep fighting Ana. It's about time we called out the bullshit.
Ana exemplifies why the media needs to grow some balls,,,, or perhaps, maybe not? lol
Love it when someone shows spine, and cuts through the bs. The US needs more people of the same caliber as Ms.Kasparian.
Canada has higher tax rates then some of the Scandinavian countries. (I think our taxes are spent badly) but still ours are high. I don't mind. I like knowing my taxes are paying for cancer treatment, medical, schools, parks, ect.
Bryanna Clinker lucky basturd if you smoke weed smoke one for me when its legal
In excess of $1Trillion a year spent on war, and dealing death to impoverished peoples abroad (DoD, DHS, Intel agencies of which there are too many, black book projects and ops, etc.). The money is there already. It's just a matter of what/who we spend it to help.
Canada could save $4b by not subsidizing the oil industry.
Way to go Ana! Thanks for speaking the truth.
Ana needs to run for some kind of office in 2020. Congress, Senate, state assembly, governor. Something.
Thank you Ana! You were so eloquent and composed on that show. Bravo! I appreciate the work you Young Turks are doing.
I wish Ana could get on more of these shows. I love it because she don't let shit slide. Keep it us Ana. I loved the stats guys, more like those please. Maybe I can remember them in talks with my friends who don't have a clue.
Why would you even have friends who don't have a clue?
Our *top* priorities in this country should be S.T.E.M., health care, education, civil maintenance, and national defense. In that order! Our budget and resources should be focused on that. We should start by getting the money we need by stop wasting money on useless walls, lowering the money we spend of defense and war mongering, taking away the tax cuts for the rich, and imposing a tax range of 10 to 20% based off income. You have more you pay more. What we have now is f'ing *ridiculous!*
Alexander Jones American Badass
We don't live in Israel.
Ana did her homework! So proud.
We have a partly socialistic system here in Switzerland, very happy , thanks :))
Democratic socialism is about rights and freedom. Without opportunity for health and education for all we are not free, let’s help redirect the narrative. We are calling for the expansion of rights for the purpose of greater freedom and opportunity in the pursuit of happiness.
I am amazed how many people continue to confuse socialism and communism.
Yeah, complete lack of education. either that or they went to 'the school of something my dad said'
I think it also has to do with the leftovers of Cold War propaganda against the USSR. Communism evil! Waaahhh! Socialism evil! Waaahhh! Marxism evil! Waaahhh!!
Communism is a stateless and classless society,yet people act like it means that the state controls everything
A 100% tax!!!! Wow I pay over 20% in taxes now and living in the crack of the estimated 8% that have no healthcare and can't afford it. I would gladly pay higher taxes if it meant healthcare for everyone because right now I feel that I pay 20%+ just to get told that I'm the problem.
Ana .... YOU'RE AMAZING!!! THANK YOU FOR FIGHTING BACK!!! 💪🏽💪💪🏽
In Canada, we live in a country that has capitalist opportunity, but believe in a strong social safety net as well. Single-payer health care is NOT a handout, but American conservatives attempt to frame the discussion in a way that benefits corporations - who profit handsomely from private for-profit healthcare.
Ana ripped her to pieces and threw the confetti. 😆🎉
how is 60-70% of 3 million the same as everyone pays 100%? And why is millionaires paying more than the working class bad?
I am Scandinavian (Danish) have free worldclass healthcare, free education and the worlds best welfare system should I need it. I make my living running a small company, am not a socialist. We see the "free" stuff as a basic human right. Btw I pay 38% income tax.
That's good I paid 28% taxes and made 52,000
Well, in Sweden (and in Denmark I assume) there is also the employers fee that is not deducted from wages but payed on top by employers. It is proportional to wages so in effect it is a tax on income from work.
Taxation feels brutal but still nowhere near 100% income tax, even in the highest tax brackets.
Guess she has a problem with percentages and doesn’t understand that tax brackets only apply to a portion of the income, not the entire income.
So by definition, not free....
Ana should be the TYT debating champ moving forward. She is on fire. Killed the immigration debate on CNN , slaughtered Ann Coltour at Politicon debate and now this... This woman needs a raise. She knows her stuff!
&y Diaz she should try ben shapiro, that would put her in her place
Troy ani I agree. As the winner.
&y Diaz didnt you see cenk's debate with ben, ben shapiro is incredible
Troy ani I actually think Ben could have done better. I have Cenk on that one. Barely, though. The problem with Ben is that he think he is smarter than what he actually is. Now, I'll give you the D'Souza debate. He kept it simple and although his points were erroneous at best, Cenk resorted to adhominem attacks instead of sticking to the issues.
&y Diaz yeah and I am not sayimg Cenk performed badly in the debate, and I am very eager to see Ana debate other conservatives.
Ana, you rock baby... you just... ROCK !!!
Holy shit, kasparian was awesome in that panel. I would love to see her called up to the big leagues and appear on some of the main stream networks to crush their regulars. Complete pundit destruction
"There are millions of dead...and buried people who can attest..."
Um. How?
I'm so glad Ana's on my side. :D
She really said 100% tax rate!!! With a straight face too!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Rex Evans it's so dumb. I just wish with all my heart that some people were smart enough to not actually BUY that crap. But they do. It's so disheartening
And if I had to guess, she has no idea the US was both taxing the rich at 90%, and funding the absolute most monstrous fascist movements all throughout the globe 70 years ago.
I 💓 what Ana said.
Thank you Ana for fighting back for us!
Hi guys, greetings from Liverpool England. As someone who regards myself as a Democratic Socialist I'm always amazed how in America the term Socialist is always used by people who have no clue what Socialism is to define people as extremists. One example of a non-controversial Socialist institution in the UK is our National Health Service. Health care provision is based on need, not on the ability to pay, and is, (shock horror) paid for by taxation. Bye the way, year after year in poll after poll, the most loved institution (by Socialists and Conservatives alike) in the UK is, the National Health Service, it even beats our Royal Family. When I watch the political discourse in the USA I'm reminded of the words of Mark Twain, " It's much easier to fool people than it is to convince them they've been fooled".
Gary Burns a thumbs up from me, but unfortunately I’m from the U.K. lol
Gary Burns, UK here too mate, 'Fortunately'!
Hi, Sweden here, I pay 25% income tax and have practically free healthcare. I pay about 20% of my income ( after tax) on rent. I have plenty money left to spend on my six weeks yearly paid vacation.
Git Hublander wow that's it? We Americans pay almost 40%. state, federal, medical, social security.
The Personal Income Tax Rate in Sweden stands at 61.85 percent. Personal Income Tax Rate in Sweden averaged 56.78 percent from 1995 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 61.85 percent in 2017 and a record low of 51.50 percent in 2000.
I am not rich, rich people pay more income tax, as they should.
All emigrants I know, and theres a lot around in my part of the country, work and pay their taxes. Not a problem. You can start your pension at 61 if you choose, but if you work longer your pension will be higher.
Git I didn't assume you are rich, I just felt like posting an average...also hows the "free" college in Sweden? I heard it getting more expensive every year?
You killed it Ana...it's just hard to fight back against 24/7 propaganda on FOX.
RadicalPragmatist1 like how they pump out bullshit every 30mins on tyt
No there's a quantifiable difference. Your stupid isn't an opinion.
My friend came over from Germany and they have job sharing where you work 36 hours and get paid for 40 hours to allow more people to work and this helps the whole country out
Anna has more power than she knows🙏🏾
Ana should run for Congress.
Ana dropping the mic and doing it with a great hairdo.
I would never change my life here in Denmark for anything that come's out of USA.......... You created all the problems yourself !!! Now deal with it ..... ;-)
Great job TYT ...
@Ray Hopkins People like Trump constantly comment on brezit in the Uk, where I live, so I think that I can comment on your issues
I love it when Ana debates people hehehe- she’s so ferocious. Just love her. And BOOM. mic drop. As close to a perfect answer as they come. Nothin/nobody is perfect- BUT we have our moments! that was one of hers. Close enough to perfect 👌
Go get 'em, Ana!! YOU ROCK!!!
Keep doing what you're doing. The message will get through
Ana, that was beautiful! Clear, concise, articulate, complete, confidant. Perfect!
@Sandy J Renfroe
You go giiiirrrlll!!! Woohoo!!!
Excellent job Ana!!! Keep up the wall of truth against those numbskulls!!!!
Ana did a great job!!!
Ana is on fire on debating and that’s why people don’t like her
Glad I`m from Norway ;) LOL not doing well :P Free health care and collage, sounds horrible...
Samara looks like you need some “college” education
Norway is the odd Scan out, though!
This is Frozen Saudi Arabia...
You use the funds from selling your black death far more wisely than Saudi... but that's a pretty low bar.
90% of my family has graduated from the University of Oslo! 👏👏👏👏
We are from Texas! Free college is freaking awesome! ( some of my family have become citizens of Norway! 😁😁😁)
Ana always kick ass!!!
I'm Canadian, and I'm a democratic socialist, and the way we see it, WE through government provide healthcare to everyone. The phrasing "the government provides" seems to indicate there is an overbearing agency running our lives.
I get tired of the right talking over top everyone with lies.
Whenever a Dem starts talking perfect sense, that's their go to, yell over them with propaganda.
SOCIALISM IS FOR PARASITES !!!
THANK YOU!!!!
She's the reason why i subscribe TYT
I love Ana's passion and completely agree with her!
How can the other hosts not respond when she says that scandinavian countries pay 100% in income tax???? WTF
I enjoy TYT tells the truth. They speak reality not make believe.
Yep, gotta love that Cenk "I should be able to suck off a donkey if I want to" Uygur.
I ran a small business. Had family who ran small businesses. Some who operated franchises. For the longest time, I was so intrigued by the co-op business model, and I am currently chewing on starting another business under that umbrella. I don't much care for the term socialist, because it seems like a lot of DSA members are anti-capitalist, and I love a free market. Ignorant me learned a couple of months ago that internationally democratic socialists are in favor of co-ops (perhaps even its American members don't fully understand this). I love the free market, and I love social programs, and I believe in a mixed economy too.
Not only is the corporate business model unethical but it is imploding on itself. It hasn't been around for that long but resembles feudalism in a lot of ways. It's not working. It's reached its limit. No job security, no living wages, stockholders cheating the numbers, creates monopolies, kills small business. We need to adapt to changing economies. Gig and share economies are interesting too, but we need things like healthcare to provide them benefits they deserve. Thank you for breaking this down. I don't think a lot of people understand the red scare or what they're actually scared about, even hardcore sickle and hammer folks.
Lauren Brown you are clearly an intelligent person.
holy crap! Another intelligible person showing up in the TYT chat! What is going on?! I am so accustomed to trolls that it is a breath of fresh air...I've been saying for the longest time large companies are shooting themselves in the foot by keeping wages low and in general healthcare being almost unattainable for some, if not most...when more individuals have more money to spend, it spikes our economy! At the end of the day, large corps. make even more capital! It's a win win
Lauren Brown welcome to the real left, comrade
Most Americans don't understand the difference between 'socialism' & 'communism'...
...or Communism and the USSR, for that matter^^
How can we get Ana on Fox News? I would pay extra to see this! Lol!
Ana is the bomb! Michelle Obama said "take the high road" I'm tired of taking the high road. I'm tired of being nice. You're both right , we have to have facts and be strong. Dont let the right wing tell us what's what
Go Ana! Go Ana! We counting on you! Wooo
Anna needs to run for office - she is brilliant
Shes a perfect corrupt official
Anna brillant!!
Healthcare, prison system, and education are not a means of production and should be socialized not privatized.
Unless you are a greedy entrepreneur
I support the gay agenda I would argue the Republicans view the prison system as a means of production. Free labor force.
ABSOLUTLY!!!!! You are 100% right!!!!
Bless you Ana .....i feel your pain
The TRUTH is beautiful, so that makes Ana GORGEOUS!
Ronald Reagan would not be welcome into the Republican Party today.
I am so proud of you Ana! Take a minute to look at what you've become over the years. I hope you feel proud too :)
Love you, Ana!
Intelligent commentary, Ana. Please keep it up.
Agreed
