They tax fairly heavily, which shouldn't be a big surprise. The big thing though is they don't have the loopholes we do here. In Sweden, everyone pays taxes. In the U.S., it's only the middle class.
Swiss are from Switzerland, not Sweden.
Interestingly enough, tax revenue as a percentage of GDP in Switzerland is pretty similar to here in the US.
