What is insulting to me about this article is that it immediately jumps on the notion of "Oh, boo hoo, we are poorer than blacks in America!" What the heck is all that about?!

Of course, the Swedes (and I like their cars, dammit!) convienently ignore other statistics that show that if black America were it's own nation, the GNP would be the tenth largest on the planet.

To hear this group tell it, Swedish households are no better off than the deepest, darkest reaches of Mississippi!

I never tire of hearing happy facts like this recited. The progress which the progressives never mention!
