Buena noticia del día

Suecia sigue, lenta, pero al parecer de forma decidida, alejandose del socialismo. El nuevo gobierno planea eliminar un impuesto al patrimonio que data de 1947:

"Maybe the next Bjorn Borg won't feel compelled to move to Monaco now that Sweden plans to scrap a decades-old "wealth" tax that imposes levies on assets - not just on income.

The tax, which a handful of developed countries retain, was designed to keep the rich from getting richer - but is increasingly seen as harming primarily the not-quite-rich upper middle classes.

The move, expected to be approved by parliament later this year, underscores the country's efforts to keep successful Swedes and their capital at home by changing its fabled but costly welfare state. "

Y porque es tan relevante esta noticia para el resto del mundo y para Colombia? Porque Suecia es la "niña bonita" de los socialistas a nivel mundial, uno de los principales ejemplos a mostrar. Pero con estos cambios cada vez les quedará mas dificil.
