Perhaps you resent it but the Nordic countries have the strongest economies on this planet. Saying it "doesn't work very well" shows you unfortunately have no clue, or probably no interest in finding out. And you are mixing up Northern Europe with European economics in general which doesn't bid very well for a meaningful discussion. And are Northern European economy "not vastly different from North American ones" ? You could start by taxing the Americans at least 40% in direct taxes + huge indirect taxes on anything from gasoline (In Denmark they pay 10$ pr gallon) to food and distribute that wealth for common good as free healthcare for all, 1 year maternity leave with 100% salary for the mother, 4 months for the father, 1 year payment of 80% of your income if you're laid off work and give the rest to those who for different reasons can't work. THEN you can start comparing the systems. I certainly wish Obama good luck. But his programs are too little and too late when almost 50 million Americans go hungry, the number of people in jails the highest of any developed country and they have the highest infant mortality rate of any western country. Perhaps he is obstructing change less than previous Presidents but I'm afraid Obama will be remembered as a wonderful speaker and not much else. I've sent this message before but perhaps it was ditched by the "new internet bug"
