Swedish media have transformed a lot in a few year, more easy to read news and less in-depth stories. I would say it's more focus on Trump and his weird campaign and less on the other candidates. In tradiotion most of the press is labelled independant liberal, the old social democratic press have more or less disapeared.

The only person I want in the WH is the person that abolishes taxes on lottery winnings. I will still play the lottery regardless.

Yes we have negative interest, no inflation to speak of. House prices going through the roof right now. But that's how it is.

So if I would win I would have to figure what to do. Not there yet though...

Transfer money is no option, stock market? buying houses? give me advice.

I guess you would find that hypocritical then?

Moving your money to various other countries doesn't mean you evade paying taxes.

Would you keep all your money in BofA

This made me laugh. Oh so true. I love how the unemployment data is always oh so accurate when the unemployment percentage was high or when jobs gained weren't as much as economists predicted. But when the unemployment numbers are low, suddenly it's false, unreliable and the true number is the one someone just pulled out of the air. Cracks me up every time I see it.

Sweden imposed negative interest rates so...If you were lucky enough to win a huge lottery jackpot, how much would you pay the bank to hold your money? Would you transfer that money to another country

Have a look here http://fortune.com/2015/09/14/donald-trump-unemployment-rate-jobs/

While it may seem ridiculous, I wouldn't be surprised if it is at that point considering 1/3 of the countries population is unemployed. Next time don't believe everything you see or hear on TV, or radio.

My take on the unemployment rate, I would figure it at about 20% to 30

Exactly. What gets me is that Bernie is targeting these young College kids who should have a head on their shoulders but no- they hear Free, Free and suddenly they on a crusade. I know politicians have to promise stuff, but frankly Bernie is the worst of the bunch to have come along in a long time. The reason he is an independent is because he likes going it alone, his fellow Senate Democrats have heard his speech for decades figured out it's unworkable. So is he his disciples under the impressi... [ More ]

I will keep playing the lottery if Bernie wins... a lot of what Bernie is proposing will never get past congress anyway...which is why i chuckle and shake my head every time he opens his mouth. It actually irritates me when these candidates make proposals knowing it doesn't stand a chance in congress...it's like they think we are stupid. Why not run on proposals that actually stand a chance....then i will listen and you might get my vote...otherwise, your wasting my time babbling.

Point being: Promising tons of Free Stuff makes a Great conversational piece for people yearning to hear those kinds of messages, but delivering on those promises is something else altogether.The President of the USA is not a dictator, so good luck trying to get those proposals through Congress.

That's a much better question. What kind of an answer do you suppose you'll get from somebody whose plan is to vote for a candidate based on the fantasy of winning a multi-million dollar jackpot instead of the reality of working for a living

Bernie would be a great President! No, I'm serious! I am not saying I with him on everything, but he is raining issues that America really needs to address. The crazy part of this election is, we are all looking for a candidate, who will solve everything, when we need a President who will challenge us and make us think.

Wait a sec here the one president that actually won the white house without the electorial college was JFK..... So Trump can win it to all the way to the white house..

Now i am waiting for Trump to become president and i can say he will adopt the no tax on lottery winnings just like Canada and other places....

It really doesn't matter who people think should be President, its the electoral College that makes the final decision. Don't ever forget that. Your Guy or Gal can win the Popular vote by millions but if the electoral College thinks your direction is too dangerous for the country- your choice for President falls by the wayside. That is the darn honest truth.

Chew on this..George W Bush lost the Popular vote to Al Gore in 2000- but won the electoral College 271- 266

You seem to be saying is that you'd rather have no lottery winnings than some lottery winnings. Did you stop playing when the taxes jumped the last umpteen times? When it stopped being 25% or 33% or 36% why didn't you stop playing then? It's now knocking at 40% and you're still playing. 40% taxation is okay with you.

Obviously, your issue isn't with paying taxes, your issue is with who is collecting the taxes and where those taxes will go. How dare we try to have a more educated workforce. r... [ More ]

Hi Tony, I live in Sweden, with a long tradition of socialism. We have free schools and our lotterys are tax free also.

Will you still play lottery if Bernie wins the W.H ??

tony869 — Mon, 08 Feb 2016 05:55:35 GMT

Will you still play the lottery if Bernie gets elected? His huge taxation is going to hit millionaires and billionaires. Since his tax plans like for instance FREE college and University tuition will cost us tax payers $70 Billion a year.. I know i will not play the lottery if that guy gets it
