So. Massive social security, unemployment, Medicare, ACA, SNAP, $2T in annual deficits to afford bad outcomes for health, happiness, and affordability are the right wingers dream? OK, then why are we trying to Make American Great Again ?
Our past succeeded. We grew due to it. All Western Hemisphere nations had that chance. And the United States came out on top. Teel us without living off of foreign slaves making our products, how your socialist to communist agendas will survive. Look at all of the socialist to communist nations in central America, South America and the islands.
USA.

Hmm, no democrats, no mexicans, no african americans
Nope. You aren’t. You don’t know enough about here and all you do is insult. Eastern Europe troll.
You don't understand the meaning of Liberty. For example, the right to spend earned money on stuff you want to spend it all and not blow it on other people, ho did not earn it, via taxation. We are not perfect but better than others.
These countries you are uing are the size of states and should be compared to states not countries. Florida is a prime example.
Are you ******* kidding? 60%+ tax rates doesn’t sound very happy. A lot of these countries are cracking down on speech, all of them have gun control.Here’s a list of liberal social democracies that consistently rank at or near the top of global outcome metrics — happiness, health, wealth (per capita), freedom, education, social mobility, and stability.

They aren’t doing better. Most of them have huge crime issues due to muslim migration. They don’t have freedom in any way. Their governments run their lives. If happiness is being a puppet I suppose they’re pretty happy.
And white, before the muslims came. Now they’re fucked.
Keep calling bullshit.
Total bullshit.
We KNOW the left wing trolls are.
It works just fine in one place in the world and in many instances. No, I am not concerned that you can't find something that was never contemplated until our government was formed in 1787.....and has been a world leader.
So what?
