No, you read it correctly. This article and analysis is extremely flawed. My biggest complaint is that he ignores both taxes and benefits, which ties right into your concept of the "price of life". Sure, the middle class in Sweden might only make half of what they do in the US, but they're not going to be completely economically destroyed by the cost of health insurance or the lack of health insurance.
I'd happily take a 50% cut in pay if I could have the level of social services and guarantees that Europe seems to provide.

I would rather live in a country where 0% of my pay is taken for services I don't use but I don't really have that option. You can move to your dream country I can't so please do so.
