All knowing Atlas please answer this simple question for me.

If public education is evil, and Sweden has more state influence in their education system than America does, then why is Sweden not more of a failure than the U.S. ? Why are the Swedish people generally more happy? How come their Society is not a massive failure as you argue?

I am going to repeat this until you stop ignoring the facts.

Sweden is a stagnating mess. The only reason it isn't in terrible shape right now is because of all of the wealth it gathered during the period where it had extremely free markets (19th century through to the 1930s) and because of big reforms in the 90s, and even now it is in bad shape economically.
