According to the Luxemboug Income Study, as of the mid-90s, Sweden 
had a poverty rate (<50% of median income) of 6.6%, barely changed 
since 1975; Canada was 12.8%; and the U.S., 16.9%. Ginis were Canada, 
.305; the U.S., .372; and Sweden, .221. Liberal reforms, yeah, but 
they've got a long way to go before they match Canada, much less the 
U.S.
