Well then, I guess people on welfare here who don't work are really making it just fine. Just think of all of the days off they have. (/sarcasm) One reason the socialists in Europe are going to fail is because they have to compete with the U.S. and Japan...we work while they play and in the long run (maybe not so long), they will have to pay for the time they took off and the deadweight workers they won't fire...

Actually, the Swedish economy is pretty efficient. The economy is not really socialist, it is redistributionist. It is a complex topic, and complex economic subjects are ill suited to this forum.
