Rand Paul

And why are the Hamongs doing better?

So they used to always make this argument that Sweden is so great because it's socialist and that Swedes are all just doing fine.

They're all so happy.

Everybody's happy in Sweden.

And so they were talking to Milton Friedman about that.

And he was over there and they were bragging about the country, about how great Sweden was and everything.

And they were attributing it to socialism.

And he looked at them and he says, you know, the Swedes are very happy.

They're also very happy in Minnesota.

If you look at the statistics of people from Sweden who immigrated to Minnesota, they're kicking butt.

They're in the top 1%.

And it gets back to what is the argument.

Why do Swedes do so well?

Many people say it's this northern Scandinavian work ethic.

They brought it with them and kept it in their families.

And it's transmitted down.

Oh, I mean, I'm not saying it's more difficult.

It's more difficult for refugees.

But I will tell you that.

So, for example, there are people who come and in one generation just kick ass.
