  • I can’t seem to access the first, so I will focus on the second.

    1.) It is a study of Norway, not Sweden.

    2.) The categories all kinda fluctuate, but the specific rates that are higher appear to be non-violent and the largest increase is traffic violations.

    3.) This does not show an increase in crime rates overall as a result of immigration.

    4.) Immigrant communities tend to be overpoliced which may explain increases in non-violent crime rates amongst the immigrant population (see this link detailing how Norwegian police purposefully focused on immigrants over the native population as an example of over-policing: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1362480619873347).

    I likely missed details in this report as I do not read or speak Norwegian, but if I missed something vital, feel free to highlight it.






  • Given that 70-80% of people in the US will inherit nothing under the current system, any inheritance tax largely only affects those that have generations wealth to begin with. The exceptions might be things like the family farm as small farmers trends to be rather can poor, but with our current healthcare system, I don’t think it is likely they could hold onto the farm until death unless they die by suicide or farming accident.
