The truth of the matter is that America sucks in many ways

9. Education...America is not even in the top 20 in education. Less money to our public schools will make it so much worse.

WE already pay more per student by far than any other nation. Money isn't the problem, it's always the favorite solution of those who stand to gain from increased spending.

It is funny that Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and most of Europe are all far more to the left economically but in many ways rank higher in these areas. Intimating the third world isn't a good idea.

They all have a lower standard of living, by any measure, nimrod.

Australia doesn't.

 

[LuckyDuck]

My caveat is that America is also great in many ways. The best in the world for a few things.


However, a lot of things about this country really suck.

1) Our infrastructure system is one of the worst in the developed world.

2) Our child poverty rate is the worst among developed nations.

3) Our GDP spending per person on healthcare is high in comparison to other nations.

4) Our healthcare system is ranked among the worst of developed nations due to its high cost to consumers and ineligibility for millions of others.

5) Trump - an unprecedented embarrassment to governments everywhere - will be president. We are the laughing stock of the world (note: I wouldn't say this if ANY other republican had won instead).

6) We are the only country on earth that has an incoming government that denies the existence of climate change.

7) Water supplies across the country have dangerous amounts of lead in the water. It's the emergency that no one in the mainstream media will cover.

8) This country has the widest income disparity than any developed country on earth.

America kind of blows. The bad slightly outweighs all the good.

The United States is definitely not perfect and some aspects of it are abysmal, however, I've been all over this planet and I find this country more to my liking than the others.
Oh yeah....as for the educational system, you can thank he liberal educational system for that failure. It started with the idiotic concept of "socially promoting" failing students, thus ensuring that when they got out of school, they could barely read, write, or do math.

Australia is rated higher than the USA on the Heritage Index of Economic Freedom. It's not more leftwing.

Well why is life so much better here?

Thank limited brainless government bitchers for it all.

We have the largest most expensive government in the history of the world and your solution to the problems is MORE government? The federal government by itself is the THIRD LARGEST ECONOMY ON THE PLANET, how much bigger, more powerful and more expensive do you want to make it?

Your solution is like saying the cure for cancer is more cancer, fucking retarded government worshipers, it's you brainless morons that are responsible for the mess we're in.

Democrats have done grave damage to America...

Democrats have done grave damage to America...

Apparently not yet enough to satisfy them, they're constantly looking for new and exciting ways to fuck something else up.

I for one am convinced that they won't be happy until every American Citizen is a government dependent basket case.

The reason our education system sucks is because we are indoctrinating kids instead of teaching them.

 

[TNHarley]

The country would be much better off with a strong middle class.

Wages must go up, unions must return, and the wealthy must start paying their fair share of taxes.

Then quit supporting corporatists.
I swear, it fucking amazes me how all of you arrogant leftists talk trash about the rights intelligence and you people never leave a circle of stupidity.
"rich pay their fair share" Support someone willing to change the tax code and not letting rich people legally avoid taxes, then. Idiots.
"raising taxes" don't do much good when they can get out of it legally. But the brain dead partisans don't fucking think.

No country in the world harbors more freeloading, bottom feeding foreigners funded by natives. The scale has tipped, we've become a country with more bottom dwelling takers than hard working givers. Weird how that happened huh? Leave our southern border open, allow millions upon millions of low grade third world humans in who reproduce like rodents and here we are...imagine that. Stevie Wonder saw this coming...this is simple arithmetic...Stop being scared to admit it to yourselves you damn pussies!
END OF STORY!

So, you're a leftist retard spewing bullshit.

How unique..

This is the kind of mentality many develop once they start depending on Government and others to make or break them. It's the Entitlement mentality. But the reality is, you yourself have to make or break your life. The Government and others aren't gonna do it for you. The problem with those who've adopted the Entitlement mentality, is that they wait their entire lives for that to happen. And of course it ends in bitter disappointment for them. You can tell by how some post on this Board, that they're bitter Entitlement failures. They usually rant on & on about how upset they are that others have more than them. They're easy to spot on this Board.

They've wasted their lives, and now all they have left is blaming others. And it's too late to reason with them. But the bigger problem is, the young Entitlement Snowflakes. There are millions of them now throwing temper tantrums because they truly feel they're owed something. The bottom line is, don't wait for Government or others to make or break ya. You have to get out there and do it yourself. That's the only way. If you choose to go the Entitlement route, you'll likely end up very bitter and lonely. You'll end up here at USMB ranting & raving about how angry you are that someone has more stuff than you do. Don't go that route. Educate yourself and work hard. You'll do well.

And here again the American left hates rich people, then they wonder why a bunch of them leave the country...

Trump might do that.

Trump won't do jack shit.
