Perhaps socialized healthcare and saftey nets cause people to not work as hard?

America is doing something right, but there are so many variables that go into that statistic that you cant single out something like socialized healthcare. 

If you read the paragraph after you'd have known what's changed.

The fact that you claim one thing... then when evidence points to the contrary, you claim the statistics have too many variables certaintly says something though.

Thank you for proving my real point.

You hinted that socialized healthcare had something to do with it when that wasnt entirely the case.  I went on to say that there are so many variables that you cant pin it down on one thing, then you said oh yes you can the article says what changed, even though it had nothing do with socialized healthcare.

Congratulations, you defeated yourself in an argument.

Not at all.  They claimed what changed was setting up the companies to be more competitive with each other.  Socialized healthcare, and other saftey nets prevent French buisnesses from doing this since you can't cut people like crazy due to the ridiculious amount of paperwork involved to make the system work.  Socialized nations buisnesses have problems like that.

My arguement was simply that the US has the most productive workers, so to claim that socialized healthcare makes workers more productive is obviously unfounded.

Of which is something you couldn't really argue.

If you aren't going by productivity why do you think socialized healthcare makes workers more productive? 

What statistic are you using to claim this?  You have none.
