Now parents can't even discipline their kids without worrying about the neighbor ratting them out.

Anyway, I think everybody knows Europeans can't get rich as easily as they can in America. Sweden's taxes are like 80 something percent. Why should the government get to decide how much someone can make?
Because the state provides the necessary educational, infrastructural and legal aid for economies to prosper. You'll find that unlike in the US, it is far easier to improve one's lot in life in Sweden,Finland or even Ireland as a result of the state's welfare system creating opportunities.
