>But everywhere it was tried on a nation wide level it failed, which was my point exactly.
But I don't think it's been conclusively demonstrated to fail on it's own "merit" (so to speak) but rather due to "too many cooks in the kitchen" and/or outside interference. I don't know if this idea could every seriously work or not (I currently lean against), but I do know that people enjoying lots of power and wealth today don't even want to know due to the off chance that it might work.
>discounting a countries with natural wealth like Norway
Why are you discounting natural wealth? The US has natural wealth and a lot of size. We're either comparing it to other countries/regions or we're not.
>I'm claiming the US has more wealth, albeit not equally divided.
I would also question this. It's more or less true as a country but the US has 300 million people and 50 states, many of which being as large as European countries. So a better comparison might be US vs. the Euro zone in which case Europe has more wealth and it is more equally divided.
>there is a good chance you destroy wealth
There is some chance, but I think we're starting to see that it might not be the case and the opposite may even be true.
