    I don’t buy this argument - if you’re going to claim something to be the case, it should at least vaguely resemble the truth. Going by the ‘rules’ of this meme, Sweden should be right next to the U.S, or even take the U.S’ place given that the U.S ranks better on wealth equality (not income equality where Sweden ranks better).

    We should absolutely tax billionaires more. We should make memes about it to spread the word. We should also make those memes at least kind of accurate.

    To understand one significant downside of this - Swedes reading this meme might think that we don’t have a billionaire-taxation problem in our country. That’s actively harmful to the cause.
