Hey, Coreos, respond to my post: http://www.zoklet.net/bbs/showpost.p...6&postcount=15

Rolf be glad that Cory is willing to admit truthful statements of Rolf, be Rolf gladly.

Coreos.

Social Democrats often point to the Nordic countries' happiness pollings in support of their ideology, but, if you'll look at this chart, only 44% of people in Germany and 42% in France rated themselves as "thriving", compared to 59% in the US. Even Mexico and Chile beat them:

You could blame it on the recession, but that doesn't make sense because Germany's unemployment rate was much higher during the boom period:



France's seemed to average in the high 8%s around the boom and is now around 10%, so not that big a change.

You should also take into account that welfare benefits are likely much more generous in both countries. Are you going to argue that they're not really social democracies? Another thing to note is that both countries combined have about 145 million people, where as the Nordic countries only have about 25 million combined, so far more people are suffering under social democracy than are thriving.

Could it be that using the Nordic countries to support that ideology is incredibly simplistic and completely ignores the importance of culture?

I crunched the numbers, on a per capita basis 46 times as many people moved from the Nordic countries to US as vice versa, and as the article states, 60% had no college degrees.

What is the left's response? They are making a terrible mistake?

Even if not sharing the views of Cory, Rolf finds said Cory to be a quality zokleteer, does Rolf.

Nope, no Jakes here!

Thou, for a socialist, be very anti-Russian, most worship the icy queen of the North, notes Rolf.

You a smart man Cory, mothafuckin' smart man
