"If high taxes are so bad why are the Scandinavian countries such nice places to live with successful economies and high standards of living?"

But freer markets, even not having minimum wage, less central body control and homogeneous population makes it somewhat stable while having trade-offs of established 'classes' will low social mobility, less entrepreneurship, etc. Plus they are living off the success they had before they tried socialism and then fell back to democratic socialism. Also for those in NATO it helps that they dont put in their 2% letting the others carry the bill.

"Instead we have a political elite that thinks we should emulate low/no tax countries like say Pakistan."

That comment is so dumb I am sure reading it kills braincells.
