How do they measure poverty? The Swedes tell me they don't have any poor people.

The UN used the same standard when measuring poverty in the 177 countries

Why do most Swedes who come here to work want to stay?

Evidence?

Why do the Swedes in our country make fun of our show of patriotism? They say they would never fly their national flag on the front porch of their homes, as we do.

Relevance?

Why is their suicide rate so high - this is what they tell me: "suicide rate is much higher than in the USA." -- higher quality of life????

Evidence?

Well either all states in the US is above average in income or this little study is false. I know the numbers for some states. Average income in the US is not much higher than in Denmark and Ireland and lower than in Luxembourg by far. Income in the US is a lot lower than in Luxembourg it can not comparable. So this little study is crap and nothing more. I have been traveling around Europe and the US and I love statistics and facts. So I will say that Denmark and Ireland is comparable to the US in wealth. France, UK, Italy and Germany and Sweden are somewhat poorer. Spain is poorer than them, but a wonderful country that I want to live in if I got a good job there. But without compareson Luxembourg is the most wealthy and the US can not compare to the lifestyle there. Belgium is also pretty good.
