Sweeden is always put out as what the US should be by the left.

Really?!? Have they really thought that through?

Top tax rate is 56.4%, way less than the 70% proposed by Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.

GDP per person is 11% less

Top income tax rate is 56% way less than the 70% proposed by AOC

Corporate tax is about the same as the US, 22%

Unemployment is 35% higher than the US.

Value added/sales tax is 25% (This type of tax hits the poor the same as the rich, called regressive by the left)
.
They do not deficit spend. There spending is always with in 2% of what they take in. (So much for deficit spending on entitlements).

They have a voucher system for schools!

Sweden has less that 10% of their population that was born outside of Europe.

Spending on Military obligations is about 40% less per capita of that which the US spends.

They are moving right politically. From the last election Swedish Democrats (conservatives) gained ~ 5% and Social democrats (left) lost 2.5%.
