It's always cringe when progressives try to mock other ideologies. It always comes off like when Hillary Clinton tries to act hip. Sure, racism must be the reason Americans don't want the socialism that leads to a restrictive society and less mobility. You don't have to worry about health insurance in Western Europe, but then flipping burgers is a career for some people.

There's honestly few people that ideologically intolerant as progressives. Most religious people accept that there are other perspectives. It's doubly annoying because they're also dumb. Watch Sam Seder debate Tim Pool. He totally believes Trump is going to be taken down for making a deal with the Ukrainians, even though the Ukrainians said it didn't happen, even though their only witnesses only have hearsay, even though the claimed deal didn't happen (the money was paid to Ukraine), even though the Intel committee wont allow cross examination of those witnesses, and even though Joe Biden is on video bragging about withholding money from Ukraine to get them to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma, which Hunter Biden was on the board and Joe accepted a 900k lobbying payment from.

@Yurikon3 America has a private system that is heavily regulated so anyone, even with serious conditions can buy private health insurance. The problems are that the costs are extremely high, so people are getting insurance with high deductibles and high premiums that they consider useless. America doesn't have a government system, because you'd never get all 50 states to agree to it and coordinate to make it happen. Finnland has the population of a low population state, like Oregon.

There is not a finite amount of money. As the economy grows the Federal reserve prints it an gives it to banks to make loans. Or, more accurately there's not a limited amount of money.

It depends on what people want. The political culture is different in Euope. One reason that a national health insurance doesn't pass congress is that people are more willing to take risks.

@blank-vj1mc People pay back the loans, which originate from profits. The borrower spends the money. So it increases the total dollars including what's in bank accounts. I'm not en economist, but one can obviously refute the Innuendo guy's zero sum assertion. If that were true China wouldn't have been able to change from farmers to a land of skyscrapers in just 20 years.

@ManCheat2 That must have been after they removed the gold standard.

Corn subsidies are just pork barrel spending. Congressmen from states growing corn support it. It's the same reason many in congress support military aid for countries such as Israel. The money goes to defense contractors in their state.

This rhetoric from progressive that you hear all the time makes me think they're all closet racists. I've honestly never even considered that "billionaires look like me because I'm white. So then I empathize with their success." WTF? There are billionaires in other countries also. The billionaires in Singapore or Dubai are going to be mostly not white.

They can't even get the Biden administration to go along with student loan forgiveness. In countries where students generally don't pay college tuition, there is a national merit based system. The students have to get good scores on standardized tests, or else their option is just vocational school. As usual, these lefties want to choose the aspects of a system that they like, while ignoring the aspects that make it function. Another example, is that they want to make menial jobs secure, with a good wage (15/hr minimum wage), and good benefits. They have that in wealthy European countries. But those jobs are a career, rather than a temporary transitional thing, as in America. Do you really want that?
