@france1945 You say you have made it on your own , so I do wonder what you do. The following industries receive government socialist interventions, All manufacturing, All farming, all real estate, all banking, all insurance, most healthcare, consumer staples like Walmart. So it's great you have made it on your own without government support. It would seem you are a Trump socialist, a big fan of a closed market (protectionist) and industry subsidies but not a fan of a decent welfare safety net including healthcare. Australia is less socialist and more free market orientated and most likely we spend less on public health care than the US at the moment noting the absolute failures of the Covid 19 response. If you doubt me see the Economic Freedom Index by Heritage Foundation. Why you want higher taxes or government debt to support corporations versus humans is confusing to me. Look forward to your argument in favor of the limited socialist model of the US versus Australia going head to head. Also why do you subsidise farmers and then use illegal labor, is this to crush farmers in the very countries the workers come from?

@TommyElijahCabelloReal it's not runaway capitalism because the US is more socialist. The issue is the socialism is towards corporations not humans, AKA corporatism . See Economic Freedom Index by Heritage Foundation which is a pretty good guide of how socialist a country is.

Simo Hayha I read the comments between you and france and tend to agree with you but implementation of what you would prefer seems almost impossible because both major US political parties are beholden to corporations. I do like Joe's plan of introducing medicare for all by stealth by putting in a public option insurer , but the insurance industry will fight tooth and nail against it and probably win. Read my comment to france .
