Shocking, Glenn Beck agrees with Bernie Sanders: "we should be like Sweden"

Today, on his show Glenn Beck said the he agrees with Bernie Sanders: "we should be like Sweden". Why? Because, and you can check that on Google, Swedes pay less in taxes across the board than we do but get so much more.

The Myth of Low-Tax America
"The problem with Americans and their taxes is that we get nothing for them."
"If Americans knew what Swedes receive for their taxes, we would probably riot,"

Here is short comparison:

Sweden: 22% Corporate tax; 31% Individual (min); 59.7% Individual (max); 30% Capital Gains; 1.5% Property Tax; 0% Inheritance Tax

USA: 35% Corporate tax; 0% Individual (min); 55.9% Individual (Fed + State + Local max); 28-39.6% Capital Gains; 0.28-2.29% Property Tax; 0-40% Inheritance Tax

Let's not jump the gun voting for Bernie yet but if Democrats want US to be like Sweden we can let them and we could start with dealing with corrupt politicians. Yes, him and her (you know who.)
