Pop group ABBA makes bizarre (or Bizarro) tax news


Tax laws make people jump through crazy, exhausting, extremely annoying hoops in this country and probably all worldwide. Sweden is pointed to as a country where socialism actually works, but now one's not so sure:

ABBA: Crazy Costumes Were a Tax Dodge

Thus where for some wealthy people the dodge may be raising crops on a particular piece of ground to lower the taxes on it, giving away a ton of money to charities in order to save a fraction of it on April 15 or whatever, here tax madness impacted popular culture, making it more decadent. ABBA was one of the groups whose music was the most lovely, musical and wholesome out there, but they felt compelled to save money by making sartorial fools of themselves when performing!

I say wholesome, but being part of the satanic pop music industry there are questions. What's this song The Piper all about?

Obviously it could in fact be an accusing allegory on depraved politicians like Obama, but who knows. Like much of the subtle meaning in pop, it doesn't want to commit itself.
