DN Opinion. Remove punitive tax on the sick and the disabled

When the tax is lowered at the end of the year both for the working and old age pensioners is a group of forgotten. A punitive tax on the people by the authorities is not considered to be able to bring something on the labour market remain.

the Parliament should urgently abolish what I call the ”funkisskatt” for persons with sickness compensation. The difference between the tax for the pay and sickness benefits (skattetabell 34) is 732 dollars a month for it, which has 9,000 dollars a month in compensation and the whole 1.012 crowns for the one who has 14.000 sek in a month.

Sickness compensation until further notice and activity compensation is the remuneration to be granted to man, not expected to be able to bring something on the labour market. A higher tax on the grounds that it should pay to work rather a punishment of the inability to do it.

of the as a result of old age is not expected to work also have a lower tax. It is nothing other than contempt.

Since 2008, our standard of living in relation to the that can get and hold a regular job has fallen by at least 30 per cent.

Garantiersättningen can be a maximum of 9.290 sek per month before tax. In the fall, announced by the government, an increase of the guarantee level of sek 300, but månadsersättningen reach still not up even to 10,000 crowns. Today 169.000 persons in Sweden (95.000 women and 74,000 men) with compensation at this level.

that covers about 92 percent of the rental price for an apartment up to 5.400 euro per month, but then it must not take more than 120,000 usd and not more than 25,000 usd in the bank accounts.

Takhyran for persons with sickness compensation has not increased since the year 2000. Since then, many rentals run riot. It is a deliberate policy that we should become homeless and then forced to the municipal units?

This tax policy made me leave the party I was with in 2010, and I will continue to fight this until you acknowledge that this is wrong.

with the socio-economic devaluation of us with disabilities is that if we do not have their own economy, so we can't live independently with self-determination, but will be reduced to living as the authorities and governments allows us to live.

For that we should be able to have self-determination and to live as the other, we must have a grundekonomi that gives us the opportunity to do otherwise, we will be nådehjon.
