What Americans want…

Not what the federal government wants for Americans.

Obamacare is what the federal government wants for Americans... so much for any sort of freedom and individuality. Let's hope that changes soon... lol

America leads the world when it comes to access to higher education. But when it comes to health, environmental protection, and fighting discrimination, it trails many other developed countries, according to the Social Progress Imperative, a U.S.-based nonprofit.

The results of the group’s annual survey, which ranks nations based on 50 metrics, call to mind other reviews of national well-being, such as the World Happiness Report released in March, which was led by Norway, Denmark, and Iceland, or September’s Lancet study on sustainable development. In that one, Iceland, Singapore, Sweden, and the U.S. took spots 1, 2, 3, and 28—respectively.

The Social Progress Index released this week is compiled from social and environmental data that come as close as possible to revealing how people live. “We want to measure a country’s health and wellness achieved, not how much effort is expended, nor how much the country spends on healthcare,” the report states. Scandinavia walked away with the top four of 128 slots. Denmark scored the highest. America came in at 18.

This is true, but you don't do it with handouts. The government will never make life better, That's the job of capitalism.
That's why Socialism has never worked long term in the history of the planet… It brings out the worst in people

I'll note how the top 4 countries have small populations comprised mostly of culturally and ethnically homogenous Scandinavians. Understanding the history of a culture developed during centuries of tough environmental conditions would clarify why they have the levels of equality and community that are impossible in a country of over 300M from cultures all over the world.

Mostly, the only reason they have not collapsed yet is due to some capitalism… And depending on Russian energy and food.

Capitalism doesn´t work. Over time, it accumulates all the money into a single hand. Therefore the government is required to regulate the free market. If it doesn´t, the system will crash due to a lack of purchasing power.

The results of the group’s annual survey, which ranks nations based on 50 metrics, call to mind other reviews of national well-being, such as the World Happiness Report released in March, which was led by Norway, Denmark, and Iceland, or September’s Lancet study on sustainable development. In that one, Iceland, Singapore, Sweden, and the U.S. took spots 1, 2, 3, and 28—respectively.

The Social Progress Index released this week is compiled from social and environmental data that come as close as possible to revealing how people live. “We want to measure a country’s health and wellness achieved, not how much effort is expended, nor how much the country spends on healthcare,” the report states. Scandinavia walked away with the top four of 128 slots. Denmark scored the highest. America came in at 18.

Those socialist countries are living off other peoples money… Sooner or later it will dry up

When you make life better for the poor you make life better for all

This is true, but you don't do it with handouts. The government will never make life better, That's the job of capitalism.
That's why Socialism has never worked long term in the history of the planet… It brings out the worst in people

Capitalism doesn´t work. Over time, it accumulates all the money into a single hand. Therefore the government is required to regulate the free market. If it doesn´t, the system will crash due to a lack of purchasing power.

It does seem like the only ones to make gains these past 20-30 years have been the wealthy

The real wages stayed the same or even sank but we don´t notice because all the stuff is now cheaply made in China. But it will fire back and we won´t be prepared.

Yes, that's how Socialism works taking money from one group of people, giving it to the government. Then the government giving a very small portion of it to another group of people.
