Scandinavia has its problems too, but they're doing a lot better than we are in many measures that aren't "number of billionaires getting richer while the rest of the population gets poorer every year."
People there are happier, healthier, and better educated than they are here.
Sweden actually has a higher rate of billionaires than USA (and Norway).

Not that that has to be a good thing though...
