    Sweden is Not a Socialist Success

    Re: Sweden is Not a Socialist Success

    IMO my opinion it still may be paradise, the tax system encourages success......upward mobility. The more you make the less taxes you pay. No more living off the Government. So.....un=American, I love it! I beating the school voucher system for years. Not sure how many of you know it but at least as late as four or five years ago Baltimore was in the top five in the amount of money they spent per student on education. Yet tested in the bottom as far as annual testing was concerned. Think about that for a second, how many school districts there must be in the entire United States? Baltimore was in the top five!!!!!!!!! Not top 5%.....the TOP FIVE districts in the country!!!

    Parents are forced to send their kids to horrible schools where they don't learn anything. As in the video vouchers force schools to do better. The entire American school system is a complete failure.

    What I will say is that Sweden is an incredibly small country compared to a country like the United States which makes the problems we have way more complicated to solve. issues like child daycare is an incredibly complicated issue. Sweden has a population of a little more then 10 million people. NYC has 8.5 million alone!

    Also culturally we are different, we always hear.....the Japanese do this or the Chinese do that. That's because culturally those countries are very different. In Japan education is thought of much differently then in the US. If you don't get an education you shame your entire family and are an outcast. Same way with things like crime and guns. Guns in America are as a part of our culture as apple pie and Chevrolet.

    I am sure Sweden is a nice place.....but I think I will stay right here, even with our defects.

    Some of those Baltimore schools got caught cheating on test scores that made it look like the school was improving.
