• How does SWEDEN influe...
There's no frickin Worcester sauce in brown sauce for meatballs! 😳
Förstod inte heller det receptet
i would try it but ive never seen it as part of a recipe.Also alot of the time meatballs and Pepper-root rolls (pepparrots rullar/snittar) are made with horse meat. Often times it will say "Hamburger meat" on the package since that causes fewer activists to complain (my personal theory anyway) lol. Horse meat is delicious,so is moose and deer meat. Högrev and högrevsfärs ftw.
@@FreeRangeHuman1
Horse meat is delicious! 😋 But I don't think it's used in meatballs anymore, after that horse meat scandal. 😜
But no, Worcester sauce will never come any way near my gräddsås! 😂
@@attesmatte Haha!
Hästkött går dock att köpa i de flesta mataffärer, ofta kan det hända att det står "Hamburgarkött" men tittar man mer noga står det sen häst lite längre ner på innehållsförteckningen. :) Menar du skandalen med ryttaren vars häst var tvungen att avlivas så hon lät den slaktas och åt upp den eller Mcdonalds användning av hästkött?
Folk verkar bara bli upprörda när dom får veta att det är häst, om de inte vet så är det "Fantastiskt gott nötkött" haha.
Gräddsås skall det vara! Helt rätt! Salt och peppar. Smör och eventuellt grädde i moset och låta små bitar av ej helt mosad potatis få va kvar för extra guldkant.
Serveras det med lingon,som sig bör, så är det himmelskt!
@@FreeRangeHuman1
Nä jag menar skandalen med Findus och färdigmats-lasagnen och köttbullarna. 😜 Det är nog 15 år sen nu. 🤔
Jag tycker att man borde använda mer hästkött, och framför allt borde alla svenska hästar slaktas här i Sverige, så dom slipper åka på långa transporter till typ Polen. 😕
En kompis slaktade sin ardenner (den blev folkilsk och farlig) hemma på gården och fick typ 400 kilo prima kött! 😁 Men oj, så mycket hat hon fick från vänner och bekanta! 😳 Helt sjukt! Häst eller ko i frysen spelar ingen roll för mig, bara djuret fått leva och dö på ett bra sätt. 👍
Gustafskorv är gjord på hästkött också! 😀
Ett tips för gräddsåsen! 😀 Kalvfond och en klick svartvinbärsgelé lyfter den till nya höjder! 😍 Och så tipsar jag om lökpulver och brynt smör i moset, samt Santa Marias viltkrydda i köttfärsbiffarna. 😜 😋
Och ja, självklart lingonsylt! 😍 Hemkokt såklart! 😁
How can they talk about swedens impact on music and not mention Max Martin??
yeah! thats pretty wierd!
Actually to many to mention...
I thought they were going to say that Taylor Swift and many other artists have worked with him when her name came up, but no.
Katy Perry started with singing 5 (!!!) Max Martin produced songs at the Super Bowl…
Or Avici 👍
Tax scale is dependant on your income and it's more of a stair than a sliding scale:
Up to 20.000SEK/year you pay no tax, 20k-63k 10%, 63k-154k 23%, 154k-386k 30% 386k-523k 34%, 523k-645k 54% 645k+ 57%.
A normal fulltime job 40h/week is usually in the 30% tax bracket.
Thank you Magnus. This is something that is often missed or left out when it comes to Swedish taxes. Also, compared to the US, declaring taxes is really easy. Everyone gets a pre filled form that most of us just have to check and sign (electronically ofc). It takes a couple of minutes.
Importantly, the new rate applies to what you earn above that level, and so on, otherwise you'd suddenly lose money once you crossed a certain threshold.
And it depense were in sweden you live in. I live in the north of Sweden in Umeå.
I make about 32.000 and i pay 34% in tax. In Stockholm they pay less tax.
@@kristerkallstrom1859 Almost right, you might have tax-table 34 but with the current level of tax-pressure you get around 24k payed out on a sallery of 32k. So effective tax-pressure is 25%. There are a lot of fake news about the tax-level in Sweden going around to misscredit the politicians.
I have about 22 out every month, not 24.
You know youre swedish when you get offended at a recipe suggestin british worschester sauche...like wtf..
I was just gonna comment about that lol.
Like, maybe it works, but I'm pretty sure most people don't do it.
@@MsLilly200 Du borde prova göra brunsås med lite worchestershiresås, det passar jävligt bra men kom ihåg att man behöver bara en liten skvätt annars blir det för dominerande :)
Avicii was really big artist. Sweden made the seat belt that every car in the world uses. Also over 900 words in the English langue comes from the nordic contries. Some people have explained the taxes but we dont pay for health care or school (we get paid to go to highschool or university about 400$ a month and can get a lone for 800$ and extra if you have kids with a interest rate at 0.06% a year). In the end they forgot that skype, H&M, bahco also crafted the first wrench, minecraft and battlefield is from Sweden. Also the Swedish military where able during a practice test against the USA to sink a airplane carrier twice without getting detected (with the fleet around it)so they are really good.
Do you know where I can read about the 900 words that comes from Swedish/Nordic languages? Want to know wich words it is 🤔👍
Thanks for reacting to my video and the kind words. It was the 2nd video I did and am hoping to improve with each. It can be hard to decide the line between too much and not enough information for sure. Feel free to react to any of my videos!
Greta Garbo was Swedish, not of Swedish descent. She was born and raised in Sweden and then moved to America and made a career in Hollywood. She is buried at Skogskyrkogården in Stockholm.
No, she didn't come back and died. She died in New York, then her body was moved to Stockholm to be buried.
@@starvictory7079 Coco. Did he wrote that?
I was walkign aorund in the dakr with a friend 2 years ago tryign to fidn her grave, but we got spooked and left..
Dynamite, the refrigerator, the Celsius temperature scale, Linnean taxonomy, and the three-way seat belt, were also invented in Sweden.
Also the tetra-packaging method, the color screen for computers, computer mouse, ballbearings, gas stoves and stealth boats (not kidding - it's not a thing invented for the Bond movies).
@@snorpenbass4196
"Collor system for computers".
Nopp, that is wrong. The patent of that actually post date the first implementation,
"Computet mouse"
Also not true, that was a other point based system that never was used.
"Ballbearings"
That would be the sverical ballbearing , not the normal one.
"Gas stove"
No, it was a type of automatic shutof valve.
"Stealth boat"
Well.. firstly ship. Secondly its not a invention, but a development. Secondly there was other ship predating the swedish one, the swedish one was onl yhe first one to be public.
Dynamite was mentioned in the video.
I think Volvo invented the safety glass for windscreens.
@@hanscarlsson7276 laminated glas was first developed in 1902, volvo was founded in 1915...
So I would say its safe ro say that is not the case.
Globen (The Ericsson Globe) is now called Avicii Arena, in honor of the famous Swedish artist.
Greta Garbo didn’t simply have Swedish heritage, she was born and raised in Sweden therefore she was a Swede. She got her American citizenship at 46 years old.
False. She was a Swedish citizen, but not Swedish.
Swedish is an ethnicity, not something one can become by being born there. Citizen is what you become by being born somewhere..
Please stop stealing their identity
@@AndreasEUR so with your Greek name, are you a Greek Andreas ?
@@TheCephalus what's the relevance? I never commented on her name?
Andreas is a normal name used in Norway/Sweden. You have no arguments here.
@@AndreasEUR just don't think you should be telling other people to not steal others identity when you are guilty yourself.
Change name to Thorleif, then maybe you get some weight.
@@TheCephalus a name is not an identity, stop reaching, makes you look weak.
Sort of missing a big part on the music area. We have a large amount of metal bands out there that are touring the world. Swedes are in general pretty good at making music. I guess one artist they should have mentioned is Avicii who was pretty famous before he passed at a way to young age. Also another thing that is really weird to exclude is the fact that it was a Swedish scientist called Anders Celsius that invented the Celsius system, which is what a lot of countries use since it is fairly simple with water freezing at 0 degrees and boiling at 100 degrees. Now a few other things that was missed was that the zipper was invited by a Swede as well as the adjustable wrench. As for companies you can add SAAB, Spotify, Skype, H&M and a bunch of others I tend to forget. Oh and you have one of the worlds most famous games, Minecraft. Another thing that is missing in this video is perhaps the Skarsgårds among the famous people with Stellan, Alexander, Gustaf and Bill being the most famous ones. And then you have some athletes on top of that if you are into that. (from a north American view I guess icehockey have the most famous ones.)
You cant talk about swedish music without mentioning Max Martin.
They didn't mention the Swedish video game developers that nowadays is a big industry. The 10 biggest in 2019:
1. Mojang
2. Embracer Group
3. King (Midasplayer)
4. Stillfront Group
5. EA Digital Illusions CE
6. Paradox Interactive
7. G5 Entertainment
8. Ubisoft Entertainment Sweden (Massive)

There is no nutmeg in Swedish meatballs.
That depends on the recipe, my mothers meatballs often does. And in a lot of recipes there are Fyra kryddor ('Four spices') which contains nutmeg. But it's not a must, I don't use it myself.
@@katam6471 I just bought a "Five peppers" grinder for my scrambled eggs. Lägg till salt och Arla 40% vispgrädde sista 25-35 sekunderna och inte så mycket....4-5 ägg för en nätt,fluffig,krämig och god frukost. MUMS! (4-5 ägg låter mycket men min gamle mor på 158cm orkar enkelt den portionen, det ser ut som jättemycket tills det tjocknar och fluffar och får plats i en mini tallrik,för en aktiv vuxen man så lägg till skivat stekt sidfläsk eller bacon men skippa saltet i äggröran isåfall eftersom köttet bidrar med det då). Med fördel kan man smöra pannan och köra fläsket eller bacon först och sen blanda ner de väl omrörda äggen!
Wrong
Sooooo much missing from this video!
Nothing about the Swedish empire (we were one of the biggest, most powerful nations in Europe for a while).
Sabaton, In Flames and Amon Amarth could have gotten a mention at least.
The video game industry is HUGE here. DICE (Battlefield), Paradox (Strategy games), Avalanche (Just Cause), Mojang (Minecraft), King (Candy Crush) and Ubisoft Massive (The Division) just to mention a few. In the 80s, Scandinavia was the second biggest market for Nintendo, thanks to importer Bergsala, second only to JAPAN!
Suffice to say, Sweden has been way more influential to the world than most other countries, considering our size and out of the way-location :)
Yes 👍
But since 2014 a fucked up socialist, greenparty genus/gendercrazy, woke, political correct, half communist run country 😂
BUT there is now a better future in sight, we just got a conservative budget for Sweden.
The 3 rightwing parties will after the election september 2022 be running Sweden, making "Sweden great again" 😉😂
not interesting for Americans since the world before July 4, 1776 did not exist for them
@@TheCephalus JUST THAT makes the americans ignorant 🤣🤣
Another fun fact is that Sweden has the second highest number of metal bands per 100 000 people, 43.37! Finland being number one.
Love when I find an American being interested in Sweden. Keep it up!
Finland is not strictly a part of Scandinavia. it is hower, a part of the Nordic countries and have a long common history with especially Sweden since it was an integrated part of Sweden for 600 years. Another Nordic country that is not part of Scandinavia are Iceland.
About taxes. If you make less than 19,247 kronor, roughly USD 2000$, you pay no tax at all. Between 19,000 kr and 455,300 kr (USD 48,000$) you pay between 29-35% in municipality taxes. For the income between 455,300 kr and 662,300 kr (USD 70,000$) you pay an additional 20% in state tax and above 662,300 kr yet another 5% state tax. You don't pay the higher percentage on all the income, just the part that fit into that bracket. For example, if you make 500,000 kr you pay 29-35% on the first 455,300 kr and 29-35% + 20% on the part above 455,300 kr.
And for Donald Duck, it is tradition. Our important day are December 24, that's when we celebrate Christmas (or rather jul - yule) and it often starts with the family gathering to watch around Donald Duck at 3 and last for an hour . Donald Duck are known as Kalle Anka in Sweden (Kalle, or Karl/Carl are the Germanic form of Charles).
And have a look at Jonna Jinton, she is amazing. Much less annoying than PewDiePie :)
A lot of people, myself included, prefer to watch Karl Bertil Jonssons Julafton over Donald Duck. It is especially popular with center-left and left leaning families due to its Robin Hood ~esque politics.
He switched out Finland for Denmark by mistake for some reason... Yes, I think I recommended a few videos by Jonna Jinton to him before that I hope he gets to.
The cartoon thing is basically just a way to keep everyone out of the kitchen while parents (moms...) prepare the food. Or if you’re lucky, have a nap before meal no 2.. 3? 4? is to be served. By this hour you may have lost count...
@@ge_mig_nat_som_kanns Donald Duck/Kalla anka thing is tradtion mainly because "dad" would have an excuse to get away and buy the newspaper(dress up for santa). :)
"State tax"
The corect translation would be national tax.
I think Sweden has the oldest land registration agency in the world, founded in 1628.
Donald duck, Ivanhoe and Die hard. Classic Swedish winter entertainment. Where Donald duck and his friend's coms on no 1 place and most of Swedes watch it at 15:00 at Chrismas, same program, same time every year.

Also, all family names ending with -son; Ericsson, Johnson, Anderson et c. have their roots in the Swedes that moved to the US around ~1900.
The famous pop music producer Max Martin is from Sweden.
One more thing. You have at least 5 weeks vacation every year. Some have even more weeks of vacation every year. I had 7 weeks of before I stopped working. . Fully paid of course.
Sport wasn’t mentioned. We had Björn Borg, Ingemar Stenmark, Mats Wilander, Linda Haglund, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gunde Svan, Annika Sörenstam, Anja Pärson, Henrik Lundquist, Stefan Holm, Henrik Stensson, Ingemar Johansson, J-O Waldner and many many more……
Nobody knows of natinal Sports stars that was popular before they was born. They are really not that famous.
Some tennisplayers for sure, Annika for sure, Zlatan is a no brainer, hockeyplayers kind of, it's only big in Sweden, Finland, Russia, Canada and you might think USA but it's not even close to baseball, basketball or American football, skiiers not really outside of Sweden, Ingemar Johansson for sure, J-O waldner is kind of only known in Sweden and China.
Minecraft.. Avicii.. Zipper... Skype, adjustable wrench, safety matches, threepoint seatbelts, flatscreen monitors, computermouse, computer color graphics, Max Martin(Songwriter;Karl Martin Sandberg) the list is pretty much endless and different people recognizes different things and different people.
I have a funny true story about the swedish chef, my brother has a summerhouse in dalarna and they were having a party and the catering company making the food was called the ” the swedish chef” so my brother asked why the name he then explained that he had been working in hollywood at the time with catering when they were making the muppets and they thought hes accent was so funny when he spoke english so thats how the swedish chefs accent came about 😂👍
Wasn't The Muppet Show produced in London, England?
Some more swedish inventions: GPS, Bluetooth, Computer mouse, propeller, refridgerator, safety matches, zipper, adjustable spanner, bearing, blowtorch, cellphonesystem etc.. etc..
The classical Coca cola glass bottle is designed by a swede, Alexander Samuelsson :)
The computer mouse isn’t correct though. Håkan Lans did invent a kind of wheel in the mouse but otherwise it was an American I think that invented the mouse.
Wrong wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, partly right, wrong, not quite right, wrong, wrong, wrong
There is a lot of shit in swedish media that is incorect
I would say that some important things that made a global impact were missed. The GPS- system used in Every airplane or in your map on your cellphone is invented by the same swede that invented the computer-mouse which also had quite a large impact on global computer usage. Volvo made the seatbelt that uses three mounts and didn`t patent it so that other carbrands could use the same idea and now there are these kind of belts in all cars around the world. A small country making impact on the world.
The reason people don't know about the mouse and GPS is because they, along with the first color computer screens and a few other inventions were outright stolen from him by US authorities and military who basically just started using them and then patented them for themselves in the US. There's a documentary about their awful methods of stealing from innovators around the world, can't remember the name though.
The computer mouse isn’t correct though. Håkan Lans did invent a kind of wheel in the mouse but otherwise it was an American I think that invented the mouse
The pacemaker also.
Totally wrong about the GPS. That's an American invention. The Swedish inventor Håkan Lans invented the AIS addon, which now is a world standard and is used by flight and maritime traffic for communication of its position to other vessels.
Additional facts:
1. People starting a family here in Sweden get a total of 18 months of maternity/paternity leave to divide as they choose. Both parents can create a strong bond with the kid and it decreases the risk of the kid developing psychological disorders later in life.
2. Surströmming - a strange fish-based biological weapon that some Swedes love to eat on rye bread along with chives and sour cream.
A reason why alot of Americans have roots from Sweden is because almost 1 million of us left and went to America 100-150 years ago.
The most famous when it comes to music export is Max Martin. He has written most pop hit out there. Zara Larsson is also our biggest music export at the moment. You have probably heard her songs on the radio.
For information: we have a slide tax system. 30-54%.
THE globe in Stockholm are now called THE Avicii arena.
Thanx for your RUclips Channel! Interesting, I am now a follower🇸🇪👏👋
13:49 We have a progressive tax bracket. When you earn over about $5500 a month you have to pay 50% of everything over that line. So on the first $5500 you pay about 21% taxes and every dollar over $5500 has a 50% tax rate. But the first $2000 you earn every year are tax free. Having a progressive tax rate means a higher income will give you more money but the gap between someone earning less is lower. Say you earn $3000/month, after tax about $2370 left. If your colleague earned $2700/month then he/she might have $2100 after tax. So you, by each dollar, pay more. This is to ensure that everyone can have a sustainable living wage. The extra tax-dollars you pay goes to the communes welfare.
All in all, money goes around through the system which makes everyone richer and therefore wages can increase yearly. Your tax-money will save someone from starving life-conditions, provide people with a good education which in turn grants them good jobs. Most swedes have their current high standard of living thanks to the high taxes that made this life possible for them. The mechanism that increases wages are the strong unions but they push for the obvious, not the unrealistic.
We had a more extreme system in the 80s where some people paid more in taxes than they earned. Something now removed.
Lets see: You have to add: Ingmar Bergman, Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Lasse Hallström, Avici, SAAB, match sticks, welding equipment, Harry Nilsson, Cat Stevens, H&M and many more.... Inventions: TIG welding, safety match sticks, pacemakers, 3-point safety belts, dynamite, etc etc
And zipers
One thing during the Christmas viewing of Donald Duck that always happens to every family like clockwork is during the santa segment where he paints the chessboard with a checkered paint and every grampa collectively says: "ooh, oughta get a can of that one! Huhah!"
Thirty years ive never seen it fail
Yay Sweden video! More please.
I'd be surprised if you don't know at least 3 songs from ABBA.
Not only did he include Finland in Scanvinavia but he didn't include Denmark.
Really glad you're trying to quit smoking, I hate that shit but know it can be difficult.
Video should really have mentioned some more inventions. Like the adjustable wrench, mobile phone, matchstick, Skype, GPS, three-point seatbelts, zipper, flat screen, the PC mouse and celsius, blow tourch, propeller, vacuum cleaner, ball bearing, Bluetooth, color graphics on computers, classification of all plants & animals
Padlocks
Yes, that's weird🤣 And I've heard so many who believe Finland belong to Scandinavia😊 Fennoscandia is it's own and shouldn't be mixed up with Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway and Denmark)😊
Also, sweden has discovered alot of the elements on the periodic table! 2:nd place after the UK. :)
The Ericsson Globe recently change its name to Avicii Arena to honor the late artist and DJ Tim Bergling (Avicii).
the meetballs recipe can be very different
I love that you try to learn about other countries. They were missing so much stuff in this video but i think it will take forever to explain our impact. I can tell you some small thing. Do you know about the candy that you hang in tree for christmass, the red and white. Is called "Polkagris" it come from Sweden and from my hometown, their so much like ball bearings, The zipper on your jeans, The steam turbine, The three-point belt that you use in your car and so on, it will take forever. 100% you listening to Swedish music, their so much out their, movie actors like the Skarsgård family and many Hollywood actors grandparents are from Sweden.
Also, the Ericssone Globe Arena was renamed to Avicii Globe Arena after his death.
Hallo! Sweden🇸🇪 has a sliding taxation system. We think this is fair. I have been to many places in the US and I think that must of you gays are friendly people who live in a beautiful country! You have also many of the best universities in the world which is the reason for the fact that your country have most nobelprice winners of all the countries in the world!🇺🇸👍🏽 Respect!
you make 480 000 kr a year living in the region of Stockholm, Sweden, you will be taxed 141 132 kr. That means that your net pay will be 338 868 kr per year, or 28 239 kr per month. Your average tax rate is 29.4% and your marginal tax rate is 33.6%. This marginal tax rate means that your immediate additional income will be taxed at this rate. For instance, an increase of 100 kr in your salary will be taxed 33.56 kr, hence, your net pay will only increase by 66.44 kr.
The tax rate is different depending on what community you live in like i live in Malmö so i have 33% tax rate and if i make over 50k Kronor a month i'd get 33% tax rate on everything untill 50k and everything after the 50k would be 50% taxed, so if i make 70k a month 50k would be taxed 33% and 20k would be taxed 50%
What happened to max martin? He is a swedish record producer and has produced pretty much all hits for the last decades, britney, backstreet boys, christina aguilera, j.lo…
the donald duck they showed in this is not what we watch at Christmas, it is the one where he is a photograph
That video was about 2% of what technological progress the world has done, which is part Swedish, there are loads, loads more that inflict a presence in everyday life.
Sweden is not socialist just so you know. We are a capitalist free market country. We just have some social support systems that are tax funded. Like, everyone has a right to live somewhere, so if you lose your job, you can get monetary support from the state as long as you are actively looking for a new job.
Everyone also has a right to healthcare, that is why the healthcare system is tax funded. You pay at most about $40 for a visit, and never more than about $100 per year if you need repeat visits, the same goes for medicine. You pay at most around $100 per year for your medicine as well.
@The horrible story of a man that was forced to connect his youtube account to google+ - How horrible 😬

The Swedish Chef is not very famous here in Sweden. It baffles me that he comes up as a reference for Americans still. 😁
Depends on age😉 If you're older, you clearly remember the swedish chef😜
Fun fact. The Swedish chef is based on a real person. He was signed up as a guest chef at a American cooking show. But the American hoast got sick so he had to cancel and the swed had to do it himself... Aaaaaand panicked 😂
Seatbelts come from Volvo which released their patent for everyone to use.
In Sweden, we have the sliding tax system that you talked about. For People that dont earn that much, they dont need to pay as much in taxes. While the One that earns morse have to pay more. In that way, People have around the same amount of money as eveyone else.
Don't forget Max Martin and H&M
8:35 Nobel prize award is handed out in Oslo, Norway, not in Stockholm!!
There’s a swede behind the prize, Alfred Nobel, and there are prizes in a *wide range* of disciplines, such as physics, medicine, literature et c. And the Nobel prize gala always take place in Stockholm, Sweden.
For some reason back in the day, someone thought it’d be a good idea to single out the peace prize and award that from Norway.. god knows why(?)...
There are many incorrect facts in the original video. Find one made by a swede instead of a random American guy (original video, not this reaction video).

The tax is based where you live! I pay 33% tax and thats pretty common. If you earn more than 50.000 kr a month then you pay 50-57 % tax. We got free dental care and very good roads and many other things because of the tax system.
I´m living in Sweden. We have a sliding tax. All income until 50000 kr is taxed 30 % after that ever 100 kr is taxed 50 %, so if you earn 30000 a month you pay about 10000 kr tax, if you earn 60000 kr you have to pay 30 % for the first 50000 kr and the last 10000 kr you have to pay 50 %.
Bronx is (maybe) named after a Swede.
It IS named after Jonas J. Bronck. He came over "the pond" to New Amsterdam (New York City) in 1639. Jonas was adventurous, well educated/well read & was familiar w/ more than four languages (Latin included). He originated from the Parish of Småland (southern Sweden). Jonas was savvy & lucrative in business. In 1639, same year as he arrived in New Amsterdam, he bought land
from the Native Americans (today, it's called Mott Haven, south of 150th Street). The Bronck family eventually named their property "The Broncks River" & "The Broncks Land" (used for the remainder of the 17th Century). Later on, everything became "The Broncks" County & The Borough of "The Broncks". Somewhere around 1697, the spelling was changed from "The Broncks" to "The Bronx".
They also say that the Word dollar comes from the Word "riksDALER"
If the country was a bit more to the south, Sweden would be perfect. It just gets a bit too cold in winter. Allthough the Swedish people might not all agree on that. Not sure about the rest of Europe but Donald Duck is much more popular than Mickey in the Netherlands as well. Practically every kid here reads the Donald Duck magazine. Wondering if they also have that in Sweden?
Yea we have that but it’s not as popular right now as it was in 1990ish
Southern sweden is usually mild even during the heart of winter, and when i say south i mean south south , not stockholm where it can still get very cold if you are not from a country where ice and negative degrees are normal for part of the year.
Sweden actually has a milder climate than most of the Northern US (not even counting Alaska). Best analogy would be the weather in the state of New York - humid spring and autumn with lots of rain, winters with a lot of slush and sometimes a lot of snow (less these years because global warming), and fairly warm summers (depending on where in the country).
@@snorpenbass4196 Depends of course on the region, if you are far inland or near the coast (and wether its the western cost or the the eastern baltic coasts with the two main islands Öland and Gotland which have separate climates from the rest of sweden and each other.
ff someone goes to Boden,Arvidsjaur or Kiruna in winter and expects it to be mild they may die. :P
But in general,i agree with you. Temperate climate with mild winters and warm if a bit short summers with heat highs of upper 90's fahrenheit or 29-34 celsius.
@@snorpenbass4196 Well, I wasn't really comparing it to the usa. Just with my own country here in west Europe.
IS THE WORLD NOT IMPRESSED?!
On the taxes part.
If you make below a certain average, you pay less taxes (around 1000usd or so and you pay no or minimal taxes)
From that amount to under 3100usd you pay, depending on "state" 31-33% taxes. Everything you make above that you pay more taxes for untill you hit around 6k, and then you pay more.
So if you make 10k, the first 3k you pay 33% on, everything between 31 and 60 you pay 45% or so on and everything over that you pay maybe 50% on.
So if you make say 35. 31 of that is 33% and the remaining 4 is 45%
To clarify, I'm unsure of the % over 31 and unsure where the third tax bracket and it's % is.
People does not pay the same taxes, if you have a very high salary, you pay about 60 % margin tax (I live in Sweden),
Sweden also came up with seatbelts and bluetooth
Hello . We have a progressive tax here in Sweden. Those who have an income below 4590 $ / month pay around 30% but at the same time have a deduction so the actual income tax is 25%. Those who earn more than $ 4,590 / month pay 50% on the portion that exceeds that amount.
We have other taxes such as VAT on purchases of 25%. We have tax on real estate and cars.
Skype is also from Sweden.
So is the "Bluetooth" technology.
And Spotify
You said you watched another video about why you should use the swedish tax model and our socialism. This is one huge thing that your republican politicians keep smacking into your heads, and many of you, even democrats, belive. "Sweden is a socialist country." The word socialist rings bad in almost any ear, even most of ours. But you know, the main reason Bernie Sanders wouldn't come as far as president is that even he called Sweden a socialist country. Socialism = communism to many. And americans are extremely afraid of communism, more than most others😊 So, the TRUTH about Sweden is that we're NOT a socialist country. Our politicians tried socialism once, but it showed our whole society went down the drain, and they had to change it all. I, for one, is proud to pay my taxes, as others will be able to take part of my money when they need it. Because of our taxes it costs only 10.9 usd to see a doctor, and 32.7 usd to see a specialist. You can have a heart or brain surgery for 32 usd. Free schools too. Just because of our tax system. Pretty different from the US, isn't it?😊 Well, this was an easy way of explanation, but that's pretty much what it's like. Of course, rich people and company owners complain about the taxes, as well as those who don't think very far. But the common swede is in a great place👍
Up to a certain income level you only pay municipality and regional tax. Over that level you also pay national tax. So you pay a higher percentage of tax the higher your income is. Most people pay araind 30-33% in income tax. The employer also pays a fee to cover the employees pensions etc. In addition you pay VAT on all goods and services. On most products the VAT is 25%.
If you have income from capital (e.g. profits from stock or if you sell your house) you pay 30% tax on your profit.
Examples of well known Swedish inventions are the zip lock, smokeless gun powder, ball reaing and the separator, etc.
You might find it interesting to take a look at some of the Swedish inventions/inventors. Many suprises there. Computer graphics, universal joint etc...
they missed Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sweden house Mafia, Sabaton, Hammerfall.Europe,Opeth, Henrik Lundqvist, and our famous actors like Ingrid Bergman, Skarsgård
You pay more in tax if you make a lot of money or have certain titles etc. One famous swedish author (Astrid Lindgren) once payed 102% tax.
Don't forget about Yngwie J. Malmsteen. ABBA may have sold a lot more records than Malmsteen & had more hits. But Malmsteen REALLY changed "the landscape" with his neoclassical guitar style when he exploded on the American music/rock scene in 1983.
More so than ABBA ever did. Malmsteen was unique & a REAL TRAILBLAZER back in 1983-1984.
Just like Jimi Hendrix in 1966-1967 & Eddie Van Halen in 1977-1978.
Technically its a Ministerial Monarchical Socialism, not truly a "Democratic Socialism", as this does not exist. The term is a dichotomy, a misnomer.
The income tax in Sweden is on a sliding tax scale. However other taxes such as VAT is the same for all.
The income from work is progressive. Higher percentage the more you make. However, tax on goods and services are the same for everyone
Talking about Swedish music, why not mention Max Martin and other producers and creators behind a lot of American music?
And also John Ericsson the inventor of the USS Monitor was Swedish. The ship that helped the north winn the american civil war.
He's also behind the propeller itself. (Not the general idea of 'screw propulsion', but first practically useable one (also practically in parallel with the Brit F.P Smith)
C.E. Johansson invented "passbitar" precision ground gauge blocks that could be combined (one of the common sets) to any measure from 0.01 mm to 201 mm with a step of 0.01mm. One of the bases of precision volume / interchangeable (instead of custom/hand fitted) parts manufacturing.
Another Johansson, J. P., invented the "skiftnyckel" (adjustable wrench) in its current most common/popular form. By some also called '[Swedish] nut lathe' for its propensity to, especially if of lesser quality and/or poorly adjusted to the size of the nut, slip and round it over.
Im Swedish living in Sweden. I can confirm sliding tax scale
There was so so so so much that wasn't included in this.
Sweden does also have a reputatin as a weaponstrader....
When I was a kid ( Im from Sweden) we once wanted to record the Donald Ducks xmasprogramming ( Tvs Julafton) so we could watch it over and over throughout the year :D, but our parents wisely said that its more fun if its just an annual one timer at xmas eve at 3pm ( we celebrate mas on xmas eve). Soo many nice memories and I am soo fortunate growing up in a safe and loving home with such light dilemmas like that hehe. Chers nice video and yes we do have a sliding tax system which makes sense if you earn more you pay more taxes to contribute to the country wellfaresystem. We do also have a varied percentage in taxes depending on where you live, this one I never figured out why though :S. WHere im from we pay about 33% in taxes to the state and 3-4% of that is to the church.
Different rates based on region (kommun och landsting) is from the varying needs and tax bases (small/compact with lots of people w/ relatively high wages vs. very large and sparsely populated w/ relatively low income and larger proportion of retirees).
In both cases they're supposed to provide about the same services - that will typically be simpler/cheaper within a smaller area, and the funds needed will be proportionally a smaller part of the income of the inhabitants If there are many,and incomes higher.
Also depends on the part(y/ies) in charge, and their political ideas as, that may impact which/level of services actually provided, and thus tax needed to be collected.
About the sliding tax system: let's say if you have a "normal" income you will have taxes about 30% of your income, but jf you have a "high" income your taxe will increase to 40% but the thing is that the 40% is only on the amount of money you earn over the limit. I don't know exaclty whst the limit is but i think 42000 SEK. So for example if you earn 52000SEK you will pay 30%taxe on 42000SEK but on the rest 10000SEK you will pay 40%taxe.
Hope this explanation makes sense🤷♀️😅
There are icehotels in the neighboring countries as well.
There's a new thing now. Smutballs, a dirtier version of the traditional fleshball.
We love Donald Duck so much cause he wears our colors! ;)
I think we were in 8th place in The world when it comes to taxes, the last time i checked it out, not second. Economy is where i have educated my self the most. So i think thats preatty accurate. The meatballs isnt traditionally server with that sous. And yes we and most democratic counties have some sort of sliding taxation. So do Sweden. Thereby: the relativly high awrage standard of living. But we are a class sociaty, and have always been so.
Sorry for my crapy englisg.
There is a sliding tax system. I’m Swedish and I live and work in Sweden.
I wonder what would happened if all the invention Sweden have created would just be wiped from history :o
Yes it’s a sliding tax. It depends which community you live in and how much you earn. That’s how you know what tax to pay. I live in Stockholm 🇸🇪
Hello! A swede here... That tax-thing he said is just wrong... someone with middle income pays about 32 % in taxes. The more you earn, the more tax you pay though. High income pays an extra tax. And taxes can vary in which county you live in. But this is not the first time I some american getting the swedish taxsystem wrong.
I notice there are Swedes making comments here that are bragging about Swedish accomplishments. Has jantelagen gone by the wayside there?
heja sverige! :D
More you earn and which township you live in so it differs if you earn more money you have a higher tax.
You know that Swedish weapon industry is also well known. US buy a lot of stuf from Sweden.
About smørrebrød:
English Wikipedia:
"Smørrebrød (Danish pronunciation: [ˈsmɶɐ̯ˌpʁœðˀ]; originally smør og brød, "butter and bread") is a traditional Danish-Norwegian open-faced sandwich... "
Swedish Wikipedia:
"Smörrebröd (danska: smørrebrød) är en traditionell dansk smörgås som..."
Norwegian Wikipedia:
"Smørrebrød kalles gjerne Danmarks nasjonalrett."
None of them mentions Sweden, as the origin of smørrebrød. They mention Denmark and maybe Norway.
Well smörrebröd are small danish sandwiches and it isn't the same as the swedish smörgåsbord mentioned in the video even if Smörgås means sandwich. From Wikipedia+Google translate :Smörgåsbord was historically a Swedish starter. [1] Since the middle of the 20th century, it has instead been a collective name for a buffet meal with different dishes. This should include butter and bread, cold cut and slightly hot. [1] Salads, cheese (compare cheese platter), desserts and herring are other common ingredients, sometimes even alcohol in the form of schnapps. This buffet variant was spread internationally during the 20th century, as a symbol of Swedish food culture. The word has in the Swedish language - as well as the English smorgasbord - also come to be used as a general term with the meaning "large and varied range". [2]
Talking about Swedish artists and not mentioning Avicii?
2 miljon people in Stockholm, not 1,3.
975 000 people live in the city of Stockholm. In Stockholm county however there are about 2,3 million people.
@@mattiasnilsson896: Ja det vet jag men med Stockholm brukar man syfta med Stor-Stockholm och inte enbart Stockholm stad.
