I think the system is fucked. Your world view seems very black or white, I don't deserve that much free money because of a diagnose that on paper says I have social faulties but am more intelligent than the avarage.
If the top 10% gave up their 90% wealth, everyone else would have 9x more money. Reflect on that before being so quick to utter the words, "I don't deserve".

Why should the top percent give up any of their money, especially when they've (usually) worked very hard for it?

Actually Northern Europe countries are the most welfare and developed countries in the world with the highest per-capita income and HDI. They're also the safer countries to live in, the USA is always the target of terrorist attacks, but living in these third-world countries you don't have to worry about it.
We have ghetto too, shootings every day bombs weekly, they put all immigrants in the same area, gang wars light compared to the US ghettos. We don't get to hear about much through media but there are other source.. Some areas you dont go to unless life or death situation.

You have bomb attacks weekly in Sweden? Sources?
