This. High taxes and an extensive social safety net ≠ Economic socialism. Scandinavian countries actually have very laissez-faire, capitalistic markets.

For example, you all don't even have government mandated minimum wage I thought? It's all set by labor unions (i.e. free market policies, two private parties, business owners and representatives of employees, negotiating and coming to agreeable terms of employment; no government meddling). The irony is that in some ways, the Scandinavian system is actually less socialist than the US.

And now that all those countries are getting more browns and other low IQ riffraff, I'm sure they'll soon become just as uneducated, violent, and fat as the US. It's a demographics issue, always has been. If you exclude blacks and Hispanics from the stats, the white population (even including the dumb, poor rednecks in Appalachia) on average is pretty well on par in health, educational performance, etc. as 95% white (at least that was the case 10-15 years ago) European countries.
