You have no understanding of this country. You're trying to compare a multicultural country of 300 million people with small homogeneous country of just 9 million. Our economic systems are very different. We don't tax our citizens like Sweden does to support a welfare state, nor do we want to. We're the only country left in the world that can stop the totalitarians who would separate you from what's left of your freedom.
You can try and compare our countries like you have here but, like you, it makes absolutely no sense. Unless you're high.
"That car which just passed you at 70 mph going uphill and towing a trailer...was a Volvo."
But then, you still have the Foxworthy take: if you think a Volvo is a part of a woman's anatomy, you might be a redneck.
