They have lower corporate tax rates in those countries, and at least Denmark, less paperwork needed to start a business, and less government imposed restraint against competition. Despite tax rates counting as toward the index Denmark now beets the US in the index of economic freedom. They realize that if your going to get a lot of taxes from wealthy individuals, you better not stand in the way of the initial wealth creation too much. Norway is a low population country with oil. Sweeden has become freer while we have become less free. Finland is noticeably poorer than the US. (see en.wikipedia.org ) . They are smart enough to not vote against their own best interests. Actually they have voted against their own interests all of the time, although recently they may be a bit more rational. Also you where asked to "Show me a large country that runs well like you envisage." None of these countries is large.
