Sweden seems to be doing very very well indeed, and the same could be said of the Scandinavian countries generally I believe. No signs of spiralling disaster, though I believe that Sweden has a high suicide rate, but due to lack of sun and light, not lack of money, the gloom in winter is apparently very depressing. I think that there is no way the trickle down theory was ever going to work. The 'haves' would not let there be any drip down to the 'have nots', partly because they believe they are entitled to what they have and also because they believe it is the 'have nots' own fault they are needy.
We all need to have some money, with, if possible some left over to spend on things we want- not just things we need.. What we do not have to have is vast stores of it that we then able to spend on rubbish, while others die for lack of food. That is wrong. That is happening now. It is happening in wealthy countries now. I would rather live in Sweden than the USA for instance.
