Oh America the great! Deal with your own problems before you start knocking 3rd world countries.

Come back when you know what you're talking about.

"But what about equality? Well, the percentage of Americans living below the
poverty line has dropped to 12% from 22% since 1959. In 1999, 25% of
American households were considered "low income," meaning they had an annual
income of less than $25,000. If Sweden -- the very model of a modern welfare
state -- were judged by the same standard, about 40% of its households would
be considered low income."
