If a person wants what Scandinavia has to offer they should, by all means, live there. The variance in standard of living is much lower than in the United States. (Some might even see the connection with the so-called GINI coefficient). While people complain that the US has a high GINI coefficient, the reality is it hasn't change that much over time. In the 1700s it was pretty much where it is now. Maybe it is because that is what this country is built on -- individuals enjoying the fruits of their own labor, something Adam Smith himself would have appreciated. So, if you want to give up your right to financial success in exchange for a guaranteed minimal standard of living, go for it. That is not the lifestyle most of us want. If Americans who are supporting Sanders realize that is the trade they are making, I don't think they'll want it, either.
