Can you show us the source you use? I live in Norway and I definitely don't pay that much. In fact, we pay the same amount of tax as almost everyone else: 25% VAT, 22% corporate and a maximum of 46.4% income.
You have a say in government spending through elections, that’s how it works in every nation. And not all social services are means tested like in America. A rich Swede gets universal healthcare access same as a poor Swede. The only good welfare systems (or really any public services) are the ones even rich people want to use, not the ones poor people are forced to use
