The only reason socialism even took hold in Western Europe was because of the Cold War and the military protection provided by the United States. Europe is allowed to live in freebie world (education, medical care) until they flame-out because of unrestricted immigration that will overtake the races and cultures of Europe. NATO Alliance members need to pay their fair share and cut back on socialist nanny states.

The rest of the world either has Attention Deficit Disorder or they're they're just slow learners. We tried socialism way back in 1620, in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

Didn't work there either.

The Soviet Bloc "Socialism" was bad for the economy, but good for a Nationalistic, Social Conservative, and a more Homogenous society.

No-one is as Liberal as the Capitalists, at least in the Social sense & Nationalistic sense.

And of course you know this because of your extensive travels in Europe?
I'm European, my wife is American I'll point out some of the differences.
-Everybody here has access to GOOD healthcare. There are no credit card checks. No 20 forms to fill in when you get admitted into the hospital. No pharmacy technician calling your insurance company if you need to fill in a prescription. Doctors that make house calls. Physical therapists that make house calls. Nurses that make house calls. There is no ophiod addiction epidemic because doctors here don't prescribe them like they are M and M's. As a result we have higher life expectancy, and less health problems throughout our lives.
-College debt does NOT exist here. School is near free until college level at which point it cost's around 2000 euro's a year. For those who aren't college material, high school is a trade school.
- I have 3 month paternity per kid to take before the kids twelfth birthday. 20 days of payed vacation for which I get what amounts to double pay around June. 7 official payed holidays a top of that.
-Payed sick leave by the employer for the first 2 weeks after which the government picks up the tab. If I get really sick or disabled, or unemployed for that matter I get enough money to live comfortable if not luxuriously.
- The price for that is high taxes, but I can say without reservation that few Americans can reach the level of security I have..

That is the goal.

Pay for your own national defense. See how much of that your nation could afford. You claim to live in a utopia. What nation? Socialism is responsible for the deaths of millions through history.

Under socialism people strive for mediocrity. Under free-market capitalism they strive to be a success. Glad your proud that you and your wife are welfare sponges. What is your tax rate?50%? 60%?

National defense in my country is .9 percent of GDP. In the US it's 3.1
Healthcare is 10.8 percent in my country it's 16.48 in yours. In other words the difference is marginal in the grand scheme of things. I live in Belgium.

Nope as white as you probably are. What does that have to do with anything?

Both me and my wife work. Worked all my life. My tax rate is a bit over 50 percent. Now can you match my examples?

50% huh. Mine is about 16%. I have good health care and paid vacation as well. Two bonuses per year. But I get to save my $$$ spend it on what I want, and the government stays the hell out of my life. I have a vehicle that I can actually afford to put gas in if I want to take a transcontinental drive. I can go less than two miles and be in forest that I can hunt in. I have shotguns, rifles and an assault weapon. Also, I have a gigantic yard and property that I can enjoy mowing the grass knowing it will all be mine. Paid for my college with the GI Bill. Served my country in uniform don’t you know. In the final analysis...my nation is proud and great. We thrive on individualism and self-worth. Your government owns you. You sacrifice your freedom and productivity in order to wet nurse off the government teet.

You couldn’t survive in the United States. You would actually have to provide for yourself and your family.

My mother in law had what you consider good health care to. She was an RN, the head nurse in a prison for the criminally insane. Had her own house, savings and all the trimmings. Thing was at 55 she was forced into early retirement because of a bad back. Long story short, she died 8 years later. Without a house, savings and trimmings to pay for the medical expenses the insurance didn't cover anymore. Would not happen were I live. As to the rest. I don't have the land you have. I live in a very densely populated country. But I have my own house, drive a 3 year old Mercedes and although my taxes are high I don't have anything near the costs for services that you have to make.
