Case and point our private system is overfunded, your public system is underfunded at population of 25 million. Curious to hear your solution on this.
California is bigger than of most the aforementioned social policy utopias and its complete shit so we have that going for us.
What exactly do you mean? Population really has nothing to do with it. Smaller population = smaller funding. But it scales in accordance to the population that contributes to it.
Aren’t you paying 30% upwards in income taxes or something insane on the regular? Thats about how hard we tax our upper class here in capital gains for reference, idk what your general cost of living is.
Population has everything to do with it because you have to offset the people that aren’t working and huge pay gaps, which increases under a welfare state - see everyone that just stopped showing up to work because they were recieving more from the stimulus than they made to begin with.
Healthcare isn’t “scaled” here, we don’t directly fund the system. You work a job and the job covers your benefits to put it simply. Its when you try to fight the insurance companies and don’t buy into the system that you’re paying $150000 for random services out of pocket. It’s a monopoly designed to screw over people not playing ball.
Australia is a socialist country?
They screwed themselves with a couple social policies. Gun control, taxes, healthcare etc and sent all their manufacturing to china
Pretty extreme democrats compared to ours.
I can’t remember who but there was a socialist dictator who would go onto TV and walk into businesses and tell the owners they no longer owned it and forced them out
On a serious note if I had to propose a system for the US it would be Singapore’s by state - without making doctors federal employees.
Yeah I know. I’m merely talking about aspects of it. Like democratic socialism or whatever you want to call it (like Bernie Sanders does). As we already have a lot of what he wanted.
I’m not saying that Australia is a socialist country (that would be stupid).
Are you really suggesting that you’d rather keep your fortnightly mass shootings? The last time we had one was in 1996. How exactly is that screwing ourselves?
People are fucked up in the US
Mental Disease out the wazoo
If there weren’t guns people will still find a way to kill en masse such as hoping in their car and mowing people down or creating explosives
Plus all the wrong people will still have guns like gangs
I could be wrong but that’s how I see it
Trust me, there’s fucked up people here too. That’s why we brought in gun control laws.
I get what you’re saying about the wrong people still being able to get them - because it’s a very natural reaction. But all I can say is that people had the same feelings here when our gun laws were being introduced, and the proof is in the pudding.
I’m not saying it would need to be as strict as ours but surely there’s a legitimate need to stop the crazies from getting their hands on a gun??
new runty pred in 2018 was a socialist and thats why he died, moral of the story dont be a socialist kids youll die
Population. And yes we like owning guns.
attaboy
The guy who shot up the mosque on your side of the ocean was going to arson the place regardless. Ban gasoline.
what?
wrong reply lol
Legal guns aren’t the problem. Canada has strict gun laws and we still have gun crime over here.
Criminals will always have access to guns illegally. By introducing gun control laws, all you’re doing is making civilians more vulnerable because they won’t be able to defend themselves.
Places in the US that allow people to carry guns legally are far more safer than the places that don’t. Also look at countries like Mexico and Brazil, crime skyrocketed after the governments took the guns away from regular civilians.
