Inequality/poverty are also just inherently difficult problems to solve - anywhere/everywhere. The 20M people living in Scandanavia have perhaps come the closest (that utopia being certainly overstated), but the other 99.75% of the world continues to struggle.

It's a fair point. Generally, the liberal states are by far the most expensive. This could be because they are also the most popular destinations to live, they attract a multicultural population, which makes them more liberal.
For example there are must migrants who want to move to new York than Alabama, which makes New York both more liberal and more expensive.
There are a lot of fair points in the video though. Generally, it's residents of California and New York who are also driving the fiscal policy, specifically the low closely held corporate tax rates, driving the failed progressive tax system.
