I made no recommendations for or against.  

If you can get the citizens of this country to go to a 60%-70% (or like Sweden a 70%) tax rate, all that is possible.  

I don't think you can get us to spend that much in taxes, howver.

It just isn't free anywhere; even Sweden's taxes start at about $2,400 dollars last time I checked.

There are no 'magic' government money trees'; the only money that a politician can spend has to be taken from someone else.  

And there aren't enough millionaires or billionaires to pay for everything you want.  

Both Germany and Sweden tax corporations at a lower rate than the US does, by the way.  And that's why Apple moved their center to Ireland--it's even cheaper there!
