A community’s quality of life is a reflection of the values and character of the people who live in that community. Race and culture matter more than government policy. Sweden is wonderful because it’s full of Swedes. Somalia is horrible it’s full of Somalians. If you abolished the welfare state in Sweden and built an extensive welfare state in Somalia, Sweden would still be a more desirable place to live. I hate to burst bubbles, but equality is a myth. Individuals and groups differ from each other in many ways. These differences play a major role in socioeconomic outcomes.
