The question is what type of government you want to live under the Swedish or the U.S. and no matter which you have to participate to make sure your freedom stays in place.
The US is a FINE country! But it would NOT hurt us to look to countries like Sweden and Australia for BETTER solutions to SOME of our problems. Like the fact that Australia has the best health care system in the world, they are #1. The US is LAST at #10 among top countries. Many countries have MORE than 2 parties. I wonder how Australia's income tax brackets compare to ours? I wonder which taxpayer level or levels Australia emphasizes?
