The Consequences of Social "Democracy" (European Socialism) |
2004-06-18 |
From Professor Bainbridge’s site (couldn’t find a free link to the WSJ article). Hat tip: Pejman Yousefzadeh. The WSJ reports on a Swedish study that calls into serious question the quality of life consequences of social democracy: It found that if Europe were part of the U.S., only tiny Luxembourg could rival the richest of the 50 American states in gross domestic product per capita. Most European countries would rank below the U.S. average....I used to live in Germany, 35 years ago; this pretty much describes it back then, too. Look how far even our "poor" have come in that time, while the Euros stagnate, grateful for their social benefits. Down with socialism! Throw off your yokes, Europe! Oh, wait.... You like your yokes. Never mind. |
