Matrix Morpheus Meme | WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT YOU ALREADY LIVE IN A SOCIALIST COUNTRY? | image tagged in memes,matrix morpheus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Don't want to? Great. Stop driving on those public roads. Take your kids out of school. Going to school yourself? Better be a private school with no federal loans. Oh, and no federal funding for the school. That's socialism. Also, stop drinking water from the tap. In fact, just stop using water altogether, unless you are on a well, in which case you are cool. Not socialist. Unemployment benefits...ever used them? Well, stop using them, commie. Ever called the cops? Socialist as hell, real Americans buy their own security...it's called an AK-47, hippie.

And so on and so forth. Socialism and capitalism have worked just fine together for a long, long time.

Women weren't working hear me out if two people are working there is more money then the cost of housing increased as there is effectively double the income so if you are a single parent male or female you will have a really hard time with the cost of living being so high

It's been like that since before this country was a country. Why does the government provide subsidies for mineral exploration? Shouldn't that be the forte of the mining and oil companies? Why do telecommunications companies get subsidized to run phone lines and internet lines to remote areas that, without the government handouts, be non-profitable?

Not the first time it's happened. Lobbyists from the India Tea Company wanted the general public to pay the high taxes caused by Great Brittan's constant wars. That's how the American Colonists ended up with all those weird taxes. We saw what happened then.

Don't know where you're reading your history, but how would it benefit a tea company to want to increase taxes on its own product? Seems to me like increased cost, consumer outrage, and a revolutionary war would be bad for business. *Sips coffee, not tea*

Are you really sure you want to know this? (Hint, you can find this sort of "taxation" throughout any utility bill you have)

So how do we define what a "best quality of life" is, and who gets to decide how we measure it? My guess is the same guys that make themselves look good on that chart.

Propaganda. Fake news.

The 2018 Best Countries rankings, formed in partnership with global marketing communications company Y&R's brand strategy firm, BAV Group, and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, are based on a study that surveyed more than 21,000 global citizens from four regions to asses perceptions of 80 countries on 75 different metrics. The Quality of Life subranking is based on an equally weighted average of scores from nine country attributes that relate to quality of life in a country: affordable, a good job market, economically stable, family friendly, income equality, politically stable, safe, well-developed public education system and well-developed public health system. The Quality of Life subranking score had a 17 percent weight in the overall Best Countries ranking.

so your saying that the 27 other countries have a better quality of life but fail to mention they are taxed almost double of the USA Great quality = Big price and you still have fewer rights as well over there Leave our great country alone and move to some other country Socialist commie bastard
0 ups, 6y
Taxes and quality of life are mutually exclusive. To give an example of those countries may have higher taxes on your income but no one asked to pay money for hire education or healthcare or other social safety net. These social programs add to the overall well-being of the society in there for her provide an overall well-being overall higher quality of life. It’s a pretty simple concept.
