Sounds like you haven't spent much time, if any, in Scandinavia.

The opportunities available to even the lowest socio-economic groups here are huge;
-Free access to private schools
-University education is tuition free, even if you study abroad
-World-class free health care
-Economies which have been the only ones in Europe to experience little-to-no recession
-A vibrant tech/business scene which has fostered numerous world-leading tech startups

Not bad at all. If I look at it rationally and if I were there, I would be ahead in the game compared to living in the U.S. since I would have no student loan debt and health care. I can see the appeal.
