Successful traders: why don't you move to a 0% capital gains tax country?

[Ditch]

Actually Sweden is scandinavian but looks very much like a tax haven if one live off their capital rather than labour: no wealth tax, no gift tax, no estate tax , and very low tax for non active traders (not so sure it's Worth for active traders to pay the extra commission for local brokers and qualify for the investments scheme or whatever the name). A poster here mentionned the corporate tax goig down to 16% for 2014 as well I think.
Great capital city, snowmobile in winter and some guys jet skis downtown in summer ! Boats every where, gorgeous villas ( not particulary cheap though)

If you love living in a country which is on track to become the rape capital the world, Sweden is the place for you.

Well, it's been a while since I last stumbled on such a link from disgruntled swedes, but did many times on a different forum.
As of Sweden becoming the rape capital of the world in terms of complaints, the main culprit seems to be the law there. especially with the minor rape cases.
As of immigration problems from taking too many refugees, yes, I can agree and the local salaried folks paying high taxes can probably be pissed off, but if one goes there as a tax refugee he's unlikely to hang out too much in Malmoe or in any particulary unsafe neighbourhood. Last I checked, except the rape rate, criminality in Sweden fared well compared to other european countries, and it definetely feels safe (and white) in Stockholm posh areas.
I'm actually more atracted to Finland or Iceland that seemed to have avoided the worst social excesses of Sweden but they don't offer similar tax conditions.
But it's all very rethorical from my part, as family is already holding me off from spending too many holidays in Scandinavia and have little interest in moving there.

I'm pretty partial to good roads, schools, free public library's parks....working lights, phones, reliable internet. Not to mention the little things like security and affordable excellent medical care.....reasonable food costs oh yes food safety , and many other perks I can't think of that the taxes I've paid over the years have provided.

Exactly;
how would Andrew Carnegie feel, if after giving all those millions $$$,$$$,$$$ /+ to public librarys, if no one borrowed books from them????? I like my private library, + public librarys, have 3 different county cards for public librarys....................................................................................................................................................................... I actually enjoy paying ammo tax,[federal + state/local tax i think];; good trade.

suppose you make good money and want to pay less tax, which of the following places you want to move to?
http://www.forbes.com/sites/kellyph...n-the-world-is-spoiler-alert-its-not-the-u-s/
from least tax burdened to most:

1. India
2. Canada
3. China
4. Mexico
5. Russia
6. United Kingdom
7. Netherlands
8. United States
9. Germany
10. Australia
11. Brazil
12. Japan
13. Italy
14. France

Canada should NOT be in the 3rd place; it should be at the bottom third right before Italy. If you make $150K+, you are facing 40+% tax rate, fed + provincial unless you want to live in the territory of Nunavut where the average temperature year-round is -30 degree Celsius. LOL

And btw you should replace Canada's place with Singapore. Their tax rate for corporation is very low to almost zero, the last I heard. Lots of traders live there.
