Everyone loves to talk about Norwegian welfare as the pinnacle of social policy while conveniently forgetting that it's a tiny country of 5.5 million people backed by a trillion dollars of oil money from the state.
Edit: I love how everyone glosses over the population size as if it has nothing to do with policy making and the politically stagnant environment of the US.
It's also comparably equal.
If US wealth was equally distributed, every person would own about 450.000$
That would make like 20 people lose a lot of money.
yay
