What do you mean? I see in your profile that you live in Sweden so you might actually have a clue, so please elaborate.

Well, I may not be the best one to explain this, and I hope I don't offend any Swedes, but this is the way I understand things here in Sweden.

 

I don't know if that explains it. I see a bigger difference between the whole of Europe and the US. In Germany people generally have more vacation a better safety net and also pays a lot in taxes. So it 's not exclusive to Sweden or Scandinavia.

If you look at the income disparities as some kind of indicator on economic equality north western europe are pretty much the same. Link

 
 

 

 In general you are correct comparing Europe to the US, but it is more visible in Sweden and the Scandinavia than anywhere else.

"Since the late 1960s, Sweden has had the highest tax quota (as percentage of GDP) in the industrialized world, although today the difference between other high-tax countries such as France, Belgium and Denmark has narrowed."
