Do you literally not know the reason why other countries get preferential treatment on drug prices versus the US?
Again, is this comment needing 100 pages for shite that you probably are smart enough to know on your own?

Socialism doesn't mean like anti-capitalism. Based off what I learned in my Gov class, it's basically like spending more money on helping society.
All it takes to believe this is to trust the government and be gullible.

Send your kids to trade or vocational schools. They aren't teaching this deluded, progressive crap in welding class.
White men need to retake structures of power and trade school doesn’t help with that
They want white men fixing immigrant’s hvac systems and not fixing the country

Socialism is well done in Finland, Sweden and Denmark.
None of the countries you reference are socialist economies. I think you confuse Social Programs for Socialism, in a true Socialist country you would not have a choice. There is no Private alternative to the Government Run System.
quote:
Denmark has an advanced social democratic market economy that follows the Nordic model, blending a capitalist free-market system with a comprehensive public welfare state. Not Socialist at all
quote:
Finland has a developed mixed economy that blends a competitive free-market system with a comprehensive Nordic welfare state model.
Most users on Reddit agree that Finland operates primarily as a regulated free-market economy with strong public services and transparency under European Union guidelines, rather than a socialist system.
quote:
Sweden has a high-income, export-oriented mixed economy that combines a dominant, market-driven private sector with an extensive public welfare system.

At LSU we took Macro Economics (2010) and Micro Economics (2000) as 2000 level classes and learned all of this basic stuff as Freshmen/Sophomores.
WTF are these kids taking in school?

It is essentially a welfare state where the more the government takes over the services, the lower quality the services become (in addition to more expensive).
Can you imagine how large the fraud will be when this happens?

Everyone acts like there is a productive class. Where is it?
It's still here, it is just being chipped away by leftists who are singing their siren song of socialism to the young, ignorant and just plain dumb.
Here is a good definition since you don't know:
quote:
The productive class consists of individuals who contribute to society’s economic prosperity by producing goods, providing services, creating businesses, and generating wealth through their labor, skills, and investment. Their efforts create economic value, support employment, generate tax revenue, and help sustain the institutions and infrastructure upon which society depends.

There will always be corrupt people, and rooting out corruption is a legitimate function of government. Good thing we have a very intelligent Vice President who has been tasked by President Trump to root out corruption. And dimtards let in by the millions, people from corrupt cultures who are also low IQ. Haven't you been reading about your hero Ilhan, or whatever her real name is?

The only way socialism will ever even have a remote chance at working is in a country with a very homogenous population that overwhelmingly shares the same values when it comes to work ethic and responsibility.
It will never work in a population with widely diverse backgrounds, political opinions, and levels of work ethic. In a free and capitalist society, the people who are poorest are almost always due to their own laziness and/or bad life decisions.

Amnulance was there in five minues (granted, I was in the center of Helsinki), doctor cleared me in 20 minutes. On my way. Cost to me - zero (and I am not a Finnish citizen). I was like........not bad.....not bad at all.....
So the U.S. should look to scrap what’s made it, and it’s citizens…the most prosperous country in the history of the world and still the envy of every other nation (I’m assuming you too saw the reactions this past year from European visitors for the World Cup)………...because you had a good outcome with an allergic reaction in Finland?

socialism will never work because it goes against basic human nature and instinct. We are all inherently selfish and motivated to self preservation and gratification because we are all animals.
we can learn empathy and compassion and caring and giving and be cooperative in a socialist system but all it takes is one selfish person to come in and wreck the entire system.
There will always be that one selfish person that takes advantage of the unselfish.
Which is why socialism will never work.

Well you should move there and stay there and shut the F uck up. You can move to Canada, England, or France and see if you want the the same health care.
My taxes and health insurance combined is less than what I would pay in taxes in UK , France, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and all of Socialist Europe. The marginal tax rate for Denmark is 60%..
My wife recently broke her leg. She had an X-ray the day she broke her leg, the next day she saw am orthopedic doctor and the same day she had a MRI. Two days later she had an operation to repair her leg.
What is the wait in Canada, UK, France, or the rest of the socialist Europe for a simple X-Ray, MRI or even a CT Scan? You can look it up.
The United States has the best medical services with the lowest taxes in the world. Prove me wrong.

Somehow we learned the difference between socialism and capitalism by the 3rd grade. And we didn't have 'Gov class'.
