Sorry to here about your tire and fuel problems, it sucks!
I don't know if this will make you feel any better about your taxes but I pay almost $750 in income tax/month (last year I paid over $9000 in income tax), gasoline & diesel is about 90% taxes (gasoline is currently at $5.31/gallon which is the cheapest it's been in about a decade). Everything we buy has 25% taxes on it. We also pay taxes on our vehicles, my truck is about $438/year and the Magnum is around $377/year (the Impala is tax free cos it's over 30yo). Living in Sweden is about as expensive as living on Hawaii. Born free, taxed to death!
Oh and the refugee thing, I'll just say this: we're less than 10 million people in Sweden, last year we took in over 160.000 refugees, it got so out of hand we had to close our borders... Before that, we were about 500.000 homes sort, 15 years of waiting to get a rental apartment... now it's even worse. Right now all thoes refugees goes before students and 18-mid 20's "kids" about to get their own place. Most apartments are the kind you buy, you have to put down 15% in cash and have a steady income to get a loan which students and 18-25yo don't have, hence the rental apartment.
I've been considering moving to Denmark or Norway, they're a lot tougher on letting refugees in.
If you know about our gun laws your heads would explode, so I won't go into that.
