sweden is pretty crazy:

Income tax: 30-50% depending on how much you earn
Social fees: 30%

VAT: 25%

So if you'd earn $10k / month as a sole proprietor you'd have $3.5k left. And when you then burn that money on things you'll have to pay 25% VAT.

So I guess it'd be fair to say that we swedes pay about 72% in taxes.
