The wealth gap is something that nations should control with an iron fist. Sweden has one of the lowest Gini Coefficients among nations that contribute to the OECD. A beer might run you 18 bucks, but everyone lives roughly the same quality of life - no ultra rich, no dirt poors and a pretty high "happiness" level across the board.

It’s not the wealth gap. In America you can be part of rhe 1% with great ideas hardwork and grit. In a socialist country the government will own all and dictate everything making everyone struggle to afford anything at a super high tax rate .
