Spotify Technology SA co-founder Martin Lorentzon said he would leave Sweden immediately if the country introduces new wealth taxes.

Lorentzon urged politicians to consider higher taxes on capital or dividends instead of a wealth tax, saying it would be “directly counterproductive”.

Lorentzon said the discussions about new taxes have already created uncertainty, with entrepreneurs asking if it is still OK to start a company in Sweden.

    Fine

    Let’s put wealth caps in place. Nobody should be worth (or control) over 10 million dollars

    Any income over that wealth goes 100% tot taxes

    No more billionaires

    No more centillionaires

    No more wealth hoarding

    Governments will now have enough income to pay for universal healthcare, free education, you name it

    No more narcissists with all the power

    Sounds like a great idea
