Как у Чаплина не выйдет. За это можно поручиться.

Тут  взял  слово  двенадцатилетний   консультант-вундеркинд,   выученик
Академии пространственных искусств при Мостропе.
     - Женщина с бородой может иметь место, - возвестил он,  -  только  надо
избежать комикования, чтобы не вышло, как у Чарли Чаплина.
     - Ты, мальчик, не бойся, - рассудительно заявил Голенищев-Кутузов  2-й,
- как у Чаплина не выйдет. За это можно поручиться.

Нехемия Штрасслер: Нет, Швецией нам не стать! За это можно поручиться.  

И вовсе не потому, что  нам нужно "больше социализма", как думают (и кричат, разрывая на себе красные футболки с портретами Маркса и Че Гевары) некоторые.

In Sweden, there is no group that does not participate in the economic effort. There is no population of Haredim, the majority of whom do not work. There are no Haredi parties whose concern at all times is to increase the benefits and support that the state provides for the Haredim.

In Israel, the treasury pays an annual NIS 1 billion "kollel fee" for people who do not work, but for the university students it charges tuition. In other words, studying the Gemara by rote is more important than studying engineering, medicine, economics and literature. Absurd as it may sound, the "kollel fee" is higher than the salary of a soldier doing mandatory service. At the kollel, they receive about NIS 900 per month, while a soldier receives only NIS 350 to NIS 700 per month. This is incredibly upsetting: To serve and risk your life, and to get less money than those who evade the draft?

Participation in the labor market also is very low among the Bedouin and Arab communities: Most of the women do not work, and tax evasion is rampant. The middle class, therefore, suffers the burden. It has to pay more taxes in order to carry on its back these two communities, whose growth rates are high.

There is another difference between Sweden and Israel: defense spending. Sweden conducted a policy of "neutrality" during the past century, and thus managed to skip over two world wars without having to suffer the cost or the destruction. Its defense budget is small, while here the defense budget is the highest in the world (compared to the GDP ) and constitutes about 25 percent of the state budget.

Sweden also does not spend billions every year on settlements - for security, subsidized housing, expensive infrastructure, expansive roads, cheap day care for children, and large budgets for the local councils. On the other hand, it has significant natural wealth - lumber, iron ore and hydro-electric power.

In addition, Sweden has a free market economy that is highly competitive and has no protectionist policies on imports. Here, on the other hand, there are monopolies and high import tariffs on food, which prevent competition and cause high prices that make it difficult for the middle class.

Therefore, we will never be Sweden. In any case, it will not happen until the contractors come on time, and the coalition is free of Haredim and settlers. Until then, we can go on dreaming.

Вот тут можно прочитать творческий (как у них это принято) русский перевод статьи. Хочу отметить, что абзац о расходах на поселения  редакторы Курсора сочли ненужным для своих читателей. Те части реальности, которые  редакторам  Курсора не нравятся, они предпочитают от своих читателей прятать. СМИ называется. Такие. Бабруйские.  Имейте в виду на будущее, господа: там врут!

Они не хотят как в Швеции

Вы так думает? Часть - хочет. А часть и так живет, как в швеции, но хочет жить еще лучше.
