What was said
"They came up with a new brand of socialism, and the new brand of socialism is not redistribution from the wealthy to rich to poor. It's redistribution from your peak earning years to your needy years. So they time shift, they don't wealth shift."
Daniel Priestley explained that Nordic countries abandoned traditional wealth redistribution after near-bankruptcy in the 1990s. Instead, they implemented a system that heavily taxes citizens during their peak earning years (roughly age 40-55) and redistributes those resources to support them as children and elderly. This contradicts the common American understanding of Nordic socialism as wealth transfer from rich to poor.
