1. Here's a recent Alternet article that paints Sweden in a different light than hotair does.

You know, I have a colleague who is a Dane. He's definitely a Democratic Socialist and can defend it very well. I think the best thing anyone can do is ask someone who lives in one of the Nordic countries how it really is. The capitalists like those on hotair love to rail about how expensive it is to provide programs that actually help people, but the reality is that I'd be very willing to pay higher taxes for single payer healthcare and free tuition and public colleges and universities. Absolutely. That is SO much better than using my tax money to bail out Wall Street or fund a forever war.
