Just FYI...I spent a week or so in Ireland and the UK last June.A few things that struck me....1)posted on every parking meter I saw in London is the warning that any car caught at a meter that had expired would be fined 100 pounds...200 US dollars.A ride of as little as two minutes on the London Underground costs 4 pounds...8 US dollars...unless you buy a card that,itself,costs about 10 US dollars.Gasoline in Greater London costs about 9 US dollars per gallon...as opposed to less than 3 US dollars a gallon that is being charged right down the street from me on this very evening.One can only assume that the other 6 US dollars a gallon is tax.

And as for Norway having more millionaires (per capita) than any other country...that wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that for the last twenty years Norway has been producing 3000 barrels of oil per year for every man,woman and child in the country,would it?

If the breathtaking level of taxation and regulations that are in effect in Sweden works for Swedes that's great.But any attempt by you or anyone else might make to convince me that we should emulate Sweden/Europe will fall on deaf ears with me and the overwhelming majority of Americans who are here legally and who work for a living.

I've traveled to Europe a number of times.In fact,I am an Irish citizen (as well as a US citizen) and as one I could live and work in any EU country I wished.In spite of that fact I'll gladly stick with the US and I'm sure you'll gladly stick with Sweden.

I lived 27 years in Denmark, 5 years in Greenland, 8 years in Sweden, 12 years in Spain, and now 24 years in the U.S.!

The least of these places I would live in is Sweden!!

Nothing beats living in the U.S. Period!!!

I don't understand why this guy is promoting Sweden to high heavens, WOW. Until last year or so, they were totally socialists, when they finally got the clue from Denmark and voted the socialists out???
