If Sweden And Germany Became US States They’d Be Among POOREST In the Country
The next time a progressive tells you socialism works, just point to Germany, Sweden, Greece, the Netherlands and the rest of Europe which is failing in the global economy.
In this new study, it turns out that if European countries were to become states in America, they’d be among the poorest in the country, even surpassing Mississippi.
Since Sweden is held up as a sort of promised land by American socialists, let’s compare it first. We find that, if it were to join the US as a state, Sweden would be poorer than all but 12 states, with a median income of $27,167.
Median residents in states like Colorado ($35,830), Massachusetts ($37,626), Virginia ($39,291), Washington ($36,343), and Utah ($36,036) have considerably higher incomes than Sweden.
With the exception of Luxembourg ($38,502), Norway ($35,528), and Switzerland ($35,083), all countries shown would fail to rank as high-income states were they to become part of the United States. In fact, most would fare worse than Mississippi, the poorest state.
For example, Mississippi has a higher median income ($23,017) than 18 countries measured here. The Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, and the United Kingdom all have median income levels below $23,000 and are thus below every single US state.
Please Bernie Sanders, tell us more about how great socialism is. http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2015/10/study-if-sweden-and-germany-became-us-states-theyd-be-among-poorest-in-the-country/

Socialism is a complete waste of resources and a failure everywhere it's tried.
