>You should try visiting the Scandinavian hellholes...
It is misleading to group all of the Scandinavian countries together in terms of wealth inequality.
Here are the latest available wealth inequality numbers for the Scandinavian countries:
Denmark 0.838
Finland 0.742
Iceland 0.694
Norway 0.798
Sweden 0.867
As a comparison the US is 0.852
The entire range for the world (where there are stats) is 0.498 - 0.902
