@ Mafoo could you also stop posting false dilemmas and such? You know you would probably lose points in a debate for asking 'would you prefer to earn $20 under x system and $40 under y system' for example.

 

Once you find a socialist country where the people are better off then in a capitalist country, I will.

 

As an example, I have better healthcare they you can buy in your country, at any price. The only way you can match my care, is to fly here.

 

I have the same healthcare as 90% of Americans. In order to get that coverage to 100%, we need to turn our healthcare into your healthcare.

 

I was born poor, a minority, and with a disability. If I can work my ass off to get what I want, so can everyone else. If you want something given to you with no effort, move to Europe, and get the hell out of my sight.

not everyone is you, it is the hieght of arrogancce to assume you are the gold standard by which all should live.

people are different, what may seem like the best thing to you, wont to someone else, not everyone has the same mindset, people are not the same, theyre all different.

theyre are people in the world who are probably 10x worse off than you, even in your own nation, theyre will almost certainly be people that have worse disabilitys and are poorer.

as for ethnicity, what does that have to do with this? unless youre saying your beloved capitalist america is racist?

also, define Better Off?

one could argue that Europeans are better off than americans, in terms of some things they probably are, heck, the UK is better off in terms of how much per head healthcare costs us.

the last line is pure bile, it makes a number of implications about other posters and about the European nations and by extention there residents/natives including myself

UK healthcare does me just fine by the way, never had any problems with it, sure people do, they have problems in your nation too, no-one is saying that state healthcare is perfect, just that we think its fairer than private insurance based healthcare.
