My point is that it easy to be the best country in the world when you take care of yourself and dont provide anything for the rest of the world....
But what if we were all like that?
Its like my questions in free health care... if everyone stopped working and started abusing the system, there would be no system left to abuse. Its only really free to the people who arent contributing to it. But most of you who claim to get free health care actually pay up to 70% of your income in taxes to pay for that so called free care!
My point is, it is largely due to our capitalist system that we are able to be so innovative.... what innovations for the world have Sweden or Finland or denmark ever done for us lately?
Where would the world be if the US and other capitalists countries didnt innovate and provide other such world needs?
The point is that the US provides many valuable things to this world that can only be gleened from our capitalism, and things that are not gleened from your precious nice neat clean and free socialized countries.
If the whole world were finlands, we would be one sorry world in deed, on sorry stagnant dying blah blah blah
