Psalm 149:5-9
Those Scandinavian countries are very homogeneous, are not immigrant/colonized countries built on the foundation of racism, slavery, and systematic inequalities. The racial divide in this country is the biggest hurdle that our country can't move past. It effects blacks first, but eventually a good number of whites are affected by the inequalities in the system but they actually support it. For example, rejecting affordable health care options even though it would help them, just to keep blacks from having the same benefit.

apply economic principles of a country with 5 million people to a country with 315, brehs.
and for the military point a lot of these european countries don't have to spend on the military because of how much we do. so they put it to social programs.

Hmmm a bit of a fallacy though, considering America is very much a United STATES... universal healthcare and free education could be distributed from the federal level to the states in the form of transfers.
Also, in terms of Military, America has not even reduced spending subsequent to the Iraq war, meaning even though the war is over, they are still spending like it's actively happening

The United States has spent billions if not trillions of dollars protecting scandanavian countries, they owe their existence to the US

Really breh? There's no other bigger problems in this country? Not taxes? Not campaign finance reform? Voting fraud? GMO labeling? Fluoride in the water? The private federal reserve? Oil companies keeping prices high and shutting down other technologies/ other fuels?
Or how about the corporate monopolized media hyping up racism so that people can't come together over real issues? The racial divide isn't as big as the media would like you to believe. It only affects low iq whites, blacks, hispanics, etc, who buy into their divide and conquer program. Smart black people and smart white people don't even think about that sh*t.
You also know that the insurance companies wrote the health care bill and premiums will and have already gone up?
It's true tho.
The main reason we don't have universal healthcare already is the fact that a lot of white people resent the idea of paying for black/hispanic/immigrants/poor people's healthcare and will resist the idea even if it'll benefit them.
If the US was as homogeneous as, say, Sweden I'm pretty sure we'd already have single payer by this point. And that's not even playing the "race card", it's just a fact that countries that are traditionally more racially/culturally homogenous have more generous welfare states.

They also spent trillions "protecting" Iraq too right? Iraq owes them all their Oil

iraq doesnt owe them anything, but there is no way european countries including scandanavian countries could afford to have such little military spending and large social spending without being under the umbrella of NATO, most european countries would literally not exist if not for the US

Which European countries would exist without the Soviet Union\?
Do you get your talking points from Bill Kristol himself or what
What did NATO defend them from? Do you know how vastly exaggerated the Soviet threat was during the Cold War?
That's the point though. The chart points out that the well off have convinced people to vote against their own interests. As far as those countries being homogenous, they're having their own issues right now with immigrants. But the fact still remains that right now, a kid, regardless of his socioeconomic background in a place like Norway is pretty much on par academically with his peers from more affluent backgrounds. But you're right, you hit on a point I always bring up when people make those comparisons and it is an obvious deterrent.

first of all american capitalism defeated hitler, so point blank period every western european country owes their existence to the united states
i dont know, ask hungary, poland and all of eastern europe what an exaggerated threat the soviet union was, apparently you dont consider a country amassing tanks and planes at your border a threat
