Kids, this is what Socialism will get you...

The lefty socialists have struck again. According to a Reuters story: A group of Swedish parliamentarians proposed levying a "man tax" to cover the social cost of violence against women.
"It must be obvious to all of us that society has a huge problem with male violence against women and that has a cost," Left Party deputy Gudrun Schyman told Swedish radio on Monday
.

You gotta be kidding. Soon, thinking like that will spawn even more brilliant thought, such as suing the fast food industry because we're overweight as a society, or even better, we could abandon personal responsibility altogether! Oh, wait- we're already doing that... Everyone else is responsible for any problems I have, and should be made to pay!

Perhaps the men in Sweden can counter by proposing a 'nag tax'. Clearly, the societal cost of those women who choose to nag their husbands is quite high- alcoholism, depression, suicide, etc. Someone has to pay, so why not all Swedish women?

I can't wait until this sort of lunacy reaches our shores...
