Every lib says this but none of you people actually understands the Nordic system.


You presume this to allow you to pontificate on something you seem to know little about. Take a look at the experiments the Fins did in the past 20 years.

And you are ignorant enough to talk about a "Nordic System" when each one of those countries has their own system. You just chose that as your springboard.

No, each one has a different approach. In Sweden about 40% of the corporations are owned by the gov (last I looked), about the same as Singapore. Sweden owns the blast furnace for instance - necessary for steel to make Saabs. Norway owns 60% of what used to be named Statoil, which it uses to help pensions IIRC. And guess what? They have Democratic Socialists! Or is it Social Democrats? :)
