This is basically all wrong. Western Europe has never been closer to the social welfare model than right now. Scandanavia, in particular, has never had a higher tax burden than now, BTW.
Sweden's prime minister, BTW, is a Social Democrat [[AKA Bernie-AOC).
This isn't true either. Obviously the same currency counts the same anywhere with in the U.S.
COL differences are based on differences in housing valuations, but obviously your salary isn't lower because your home is more valuable. That would mean someone in Highland Park earning X salary is richer than someone in Bloomfield earning the same.
