Norway, Demark and Finland all have a free market with some regulations, like most developed nations. I'm not sure what your point is? I never argued against having a free market. It has literally nothing to do with what I said.
Do you think taxes transfer money from the poor to the rich, but at the same time you don't think taxes cause inequality? You can't pick one, the first implies the second and vice versa. If taxes take money from the poor and give to the rich it necesarily causes economic inequality (not the only cause, but it necessarily has to be one of the causes).

Tax is part of the inequality issue, not even the main one, and reducing tax (since it isn't the sole cause) doesn't assure end of inequality since you won't control all other factors.

You didn't answer why you asked about a free market in Scandinavia, and you also didn't explain why inequality has been increasing despite taxes in the US decreasing. Sure, you could argue that it's due to other factors, but when that statistics show the opposite correlation of what you are suggesting, it doesn't exactly help to strengthen your claim.
