So it's "dishonest" to refer to Sweden's "Nordic tax structure" because it's only from "the last few decades?" When people think of the "Nordic model, they mean the combination of free markets, high individual taxes, and robust welfare states that the Nordic countries adopted in the 1990s. Nobody is talking about whatever Sweden when I was in preschool.

Stop playing stupid. It’s your usual “Even the famously progressive support my reactionary bullshit”-schtick.
