Swedish MPs want men taxed

Mon Oct 4,12:59 PM ET

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A group of Swedish parliamentarians has proposed levying a "man tax" to cover the social cost of violence against women.

"It must be obvious to all of us that society has a huge problem with male violence against women and that has a cost," Left Party deputy Gudrun Schyman told Swedish radio on Monday.

"We must have a discussion where men understand they as a group have a responsibility," said Schyman, one of the party members to sign the motion for debate on the new tax.

Sweden already has the highest taxes in the European Union (news - web sites) as a percentage of gross domestic product to pay for its famous but hard-pushed cradle-to-grave welfare program.

It is also one of the world's most advanced nations in terms of gender equality, but Schyman said in a headline-hitting 2002 speech that discrimination in Sweden followed "the same pattern" as in Afghanistan (news - web sites) under the Taliban.

If you want to base the whole entire election on a lousy Chevy SUV go ahead...It shows where your real priorities are...

Bush likes to talk a lot of nonesense that he doesn't follow through on...

What does this have to do with his point? Distract, deflect....

The fact is that at least Kerry has proposed POLICY changes intended to shift the tax incentives towards keeping jobs in this country rather than continuing to incentivize their outsourcing. What has Mr. Bush had to say on this matter? Nothing that I've heard.

Taxes have to come from somewhere, or else we end up in the horrible situation we are in now, with near half-trillion dollar (!) deficits and no end in sight. I might agree with you if Mr. Bush had a plan to cut spending in alignment with his tax cuts to restore fiscal sanity, but the fact is that discretionary spending has gone up FASTER during the last four years with the congress completely controlled by Republicans, than at any time during the two Clinton administrations. So if the Democrats are the Tax-and-Spend party, it is clear that the Republicans are Lower-taxes-and-continue-to-spend party. They are the Deadbeat party. That is irrefutable from an objective look at the numbers.
