[quote=spdrun]Horseshit – plenty of countries had a lot of inequality even AFTER they shipped their poor overseas. i.e. Ireland.[/quote]
Then why use nordic countries as an example and why not Ireland?
The fact is that many of the euro countries being touted as examples today for US to follow now did have an outlet for their population as their societies were transitioning. The US does not have that. And of course your equality stats look better once you have gotten rid of poor over time.
And people compare a homogenous sweden of 10mil people to a country of 300+ million people which is not as homogenous in any sense.
Horseshit indeed, Ikea style.
