• RICK KELO OFFERS MANY COMPANIES A DEMAND FOR HIS TAX PROFESSIONAL AND RECRUITER SERVICES AT TAXSCOUT INC. HE HAS TEN YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE TAX INDUSTRY AND PAR TAKES IN WRITING ARTICLES ABOUT THE INDUSTRY AS WELL AS HOW IT EFFECTS THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY. RICK KELO OFFERS HIS CLIENTS, AND MANY OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES, THE ABILITY TO LEARN DIFFERENT IDEAS OF THE ECONOMIC CRISIS AND OFFERS VARIOUS METHODS IN RESOLVING THEM. HIS GOALS ARE SIMPLE: HELP FIND AN EXCELLENT MATCH BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES AND LOWER THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOUND IN THE UNITED STATES. HIS ARTICLES FOUND ON NEWSVINE AND COMMENTARIES, WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON MSNBC, ISSUU, AND QUORA USUALLY REVOLVE AROUND AMERICAN POLITICAL ISSUES AND THE ECONOMY. HOWEVER, HE ALSO TAKES AN INTEREST IN ECONOMIES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, SUCH AS SWEDEN.

• RICK KELO, ON NEWSVINE, DISCUSSES THE NORDIC MODEL AND THE JOB GROWTH FOUND IN SWEDEN. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T KNOW, THE NORDIC MODEL IS SIMPLY THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL POLICIES FOUND IN NORDIC COUNTRIES SUCH AS DENMARK, NORWAY, FINLAND, ICELAND, AND SWEDEN. INCLUDED IN THE POLICY IS A FREE CAPITAL MARKET, A COMPREHENSIVE WELFARE STATE, AND COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. IN HIS ARTICLE, RICK KELO DISCUSSES SWEDEN’S JOB GROWTH BETWEEN THE 1950 AND 2005 SHOWING THAT THERE WERE 255,000 JOBS CREATED. HOWEVER, THESE JOBS WERE MAINLY CREATED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND THE SELF-EMPLOYED, NOT BY THE SWEDISH COMPANIES THEMSELVES.

• IS ALSO KNOWN THAT IN SWEDEN, THE POPULATION HAS FREE HEALTHCARE AND FREE HIGHER EDUCATION, BUT WHAT IS THE PRICE? SWEDEN TAXES FOLLOW A PROGRESSIVE TAX RATE. IN 2014, 31% OF THE SWEDISH POPULATION PAID 7% OF THEIR INCOME TO COUNTY TAX AND 24% OF THEIR INCOME TO MUNICIPALITY TAX. SWEDEN ALSO HAS A FLAT TAX RATE OF 30% FOR CAPITAL GAINS. THE PRICE FOR HUMAN BENEFITS ARE EXPENSIVE, YET RICK KELO BELIEVES THAT BY HAVING HIGHER TAXES AND SAVING THE MONEY WITHIN THE GOVERNMENT, PEOPLE CAN THEN AFFORD TO HAVE THESE CONCEPTS AS FREED EDUCATION AND HEALTH CARE.

• AMERICANS ACROSS THE BOARD DEMAND FOR MORE BENEFITS SIMILAR TO WHAT CAN BE FOUND IN NORDIC COUNTRIES, BUT WHAT SAVINGS DO THEY HAVE TO AFFORD SUCH A COST? WE SIMPLY DEMAND FOR MORE BUT HAVE NOTHING TO PAY FOR THEM AND SADLY WE ARE TOO IMPATIENT TO WAIT FOR THE SOLUTIONS TO OUR PROBLEMS.
