If you own your home and, for example, the washing machine breaks down, there is a deduction you can make that reduces your tax burden. The maximum amount of the deduction is $5,000 per year per person.
This deduction is conditional on you owning your home and paying tax in Sweden. Our left-wing party and social democrats consider this deduction to be a grant. I don't understand how they can begrudge the people who worked hard for their money to have a reduced tax burden. These are the same people who defend that we should continue to give aid to countries where the National Audit Office's review has shown that most of the money is lost to warlords and corrupt politicians. I don't understand how they justify their reasoning.
