In contrast to the US, Sweden and related economies tend to have higher taxes but also provide more services.For example, health care and education through college are provided at low cost (or no cost) to citizens and permanent residents.

Would you prefer to pay higher taxes and receive less take-home pay but more free services from the federal government?Alternatively, would you prefer to pay lower taxes and have more discretionary income but pay a larger share of the cost for those services that you choose to consume?
