Its in that position where all of those countries with the "higher Standard of Living" put their hands out too for money and help when they can't fix their own problems.

Ya know.. those PROBLEMS created by their GREAT SOCIALIST ENGINEERING!

2016 OECD study had the US with highest average income yet still had it only 9th in its quality of life index behind Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, Australia, Finland, Sweden, Canada and New Zealand.

The 2016 social progress index had the US just in the top 20 behind all the countries previously mentioned plus Japan, France, Germany and Spain.

The human development index has the US 10th behind
many of the countries already mentioned as well as Singapore.

I wonder if there's a correlation

One shouldn't forget that all of these countries are ultimately free market and capitalist.

You're conflating economic doctrine with social and political doctrines. No one denies that the US capitalist model creates the most wealth. It has the biggest economic output of any country on earth and as such has the highest "average" income.

But it doesn't equate to an automatic higher standard of living as evident.


As for the example in the video, Brazil. It's ironic that it mentions something happening that caused Brazil's economy to go south in 2008. I wonder what it could have been? A banking crisis brought on by unfettered and unregulated capitalism is the largest and most free market economy on the planet, perhaps?

That fact that the country was being run by a bunch of Leftist Marxist Shitheads probably had something to do with it...or did Jaden happen to gleam over that little fact?

True. Useless government and rampant corruption helped **** them after 2008. On the other hand you've got socialist Iceland who let their 3 biggest banks collapse, their economy tank, their currency drop in value by 95%, interest rates to soar to curb inflation and halved their GDP. Their solution was to let the banks fail and instead bailout the people rather than the banks. What happened to them? They had the quickest economic recovery in the world through a well managed government. They also now have one of the most well regulated and equity flush banking systems in the world and are paying off their IMF and other bailout loans early. They've halved their debt to GDP ratio where as the US has increased theirs by over 30% over the same time frame. And they did it all while maintaining their universal education and healthcare policies.

Useless ****ing liberals.

Probably because, and I know this might be difficult for you, the democrats aren't really liberals.

Yes. You are right. They are really Leftist Progressive Socialist Marxist Nazis. Way Way Worse then a mere LIBERAL.

And of course you have to remember. The Left STOLE the term LIBERAL from the Libertarians.

Just proving that the Left is totally worthless shitballs.

eek!
