Johan Norberg's Sweden's Lessons for America! —
When asked if he can mention a single example of a country where socialism has worked, Bernie Sanders always says "we should look to countries like Sweden." Sooner or later, American socialists always return to Sweden. There's a good reason for that: The countries socialists originally tout always end up with bread lines and labor camps. But there's always Sweden: decent, well-functioning, nonthreatening, and with impeccable democratic credentials. There's just one problem: Sweden is not socialist.

You won't want to miss it. (first 60 seconds missing). Click here to watch!
