Comparing Sweden and the USA is foolish. Sweden, until about 50 years ago, worked. Swedes are intelligent, non-violent and hard working. They voted themselves some benefits in return for high taxes. It worked for a while, but then the Swedes became soft, and they allowed into the country people who were not any of the three adjectives that I just used to describe the Swedes.
It all fell apart.
What once worked in Sweden no longer works there, and would never work in the USA.
Bernie, go to Cuba and stay. Or to iran. You have been cozying up with them. I’m sure they’d welcome you.
Well old Bernie does have a point about Communist countries being good places to live. Why else would West Germany have had to build a wall to keep all the citizens in its half of Berlin from fleeing to the Communist East? Oh wait, I got that backwards, didn’t I?
Well still, you see all those people in Florida building makeshift rafts and risking their lives trying to escape to Cuba. Surely Cuba must be a wonderful paradise if people are risking their lives trying to get there, right? Darn! Backwards again!
I’m almost starting to think that people actually living under Communism don’t think it’s such a great system. Old Bernie couldn’t possibly be wrong though, could he?
