Yes...we have all heard about the statist paradises in Europe.....of course, the left wing media is hiding the underlying rot that will bring those states down.....
Economic Lessons from Scandinavia - Daniel J. Mitchell - Townhall Finance Conservative Columnists and Financial Commentary - Page 2
Of course....since the United States has picked up the tab of the defense of these countries for the last 64 years, they have been able to indulge in their leftist fantasies even longer....now that leftists have taken over the U.S. government and are wrecking our military.....the Europeans will have to deal with their own self defense............I wonder how they will get the free riders in their countries to defend their countries.....?
Of course there is violence against women....women can't defend themselves against stronger, bigger men....because guns are not allowed.....thanks to gun control laws that disarm these women......a win for gun control, and sexual predators.....

The Washington Post is not immune to Scandinavia’s charms, recently marveling at howDanish branches of McDonald’smanage to pay their employees 2.5 times U.S. McDonald’s workers’ wages (clue: When about 75 percent of earnings disappear as income and consumption taxes, higher wages are more necessity than choice). …and last month the Times assured us that “A Big Safety Net and Strong Job Market Can Coexist. Just Ask Scandinavia.” (*Cough* unemployment is 5.6 percent in the United States, vs.8.1 percent in Sweden, 8.9 percent in Finland and 6.4 percent in Denmark.) …And global and domestic events are conspiring to make life a little more uncertain for these former high achievers. …the Scandinavian model’s structural fissures are coming under increasing stress. …the Norwegians seem to have lost their parsimonious, workaholic, Lutheran mojo. Norwegians treat Friday as a “free day” and take more sick leavethan anyone else in Europe, if not the world — a law enshrines their right to claim sick days even while on holiday.
Of course....since the United States has picked up the tab of the defense of these countries for the last 64 years, they have been able to indulge in their leftist fantasies even longer....now that leftists have taken over the U.S. government and are wrecking our military.....the Europeans will have to deal with their own self defense............I wonder how they will get the free riders in their countries to defend their countries.....?
These countries that do so well in life-satisfaction surveys also record the highest consumption of antidepressants in the world, and despite their reputation for gender equality, they have thehighest rates of violence against womenin Europe. …few Americans would truly embrace a Scandinavian-style society. The tax rates alone would likely be a sufficient deterrent. Though I’m a freelance journalist, I essentially work until Thursday lunchtime for the state. And it’s not as if the money that is left in my pocket goes all that far: These are fearfully expensive countries in which to live.
Of course there is violence against women....women can't defend themselves against stronger, bigger men....because guns are not allowed.....thanks to gun control laws that disarm these women......a win for gun control, and sexual predators.....
