Swedish socialism: 1/5 of workforce on disability, fraud rampant.

Just another example of why socialism doesn't work, as exposed by the Swedish Hell's Angels :

http://edition.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/europe/02/21/sweden.angels.reut/index.html

Excerpt:

"STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Reuters) -- The Stockholm chapter of the biker gang Hell's Angels is being investigated for fraud after police found 70 percent of members were certified as depressed by the same doctor and were getting state sickness benefits.

Sweden has estimated that as much as a fifth of the workforce is on long-term sick leave or early retirement due to sickness, often put down to "burn-out" and the government has been cracking down on fraud to get more people back to work."
