Why I love Swedish taxes

I ain't going to the US. I will emigrate to a developing country but with good public healthcare. Everything (electricity, public transportation, housing, food) will be a lot cheaper as well. So both lower taxes as well as lower costs of living.

Don't forget to factor that in lots of developing countries your salary will probably be a lot less too.

Edit: I feel like I should expand here. I live in São Paulo, Brazil. Rent is through the roof if you want to get two work in less than 1 hour. The goods are very expensive, everything is taxed 100% when imported, plus there are a lot of taxes added to the local products price.

I have a good salary for the place and even so, if my wife wasn't working we wouldn't be able to afford our two bedroom apartment within a 30 minute commute to the city center.

Yep, but I aim to get a well-paying remote job, hopefully through Toptal. Currently I am preparing for the interview with Codility.
