Why do many Americans Critize......?

Question

France, London, and Canada? Even thought the last two have a better education level, the three of them have a way better health care system, the economy in there is more balanced (By these I mean less millionaires and less poor).

This country is the wealthiest country, however, it does not mean that there is a better and easier way of living. Here there is more monopoly in the health care system, which I consider it to be in America a health care business. They say here that the drugs price are justified because they spend a lot of money in research, nevertheless, in Cuba a medication that cost 5 cents costs 125 dollars in USA.

My question is, Why do many Americans criticize those countries? If there Economical system is more balanced.

Answer 1

We criticize these nations because their economies are based on the principles of socialism. You say that France's healthcare system is so much better than ours but they are riddled with constant financial problems and mismangagment (it has even been compared to the former USSR). All that their economy does is encourage its citizens to be lazy because they know that the government will just baby them around for their entire lives. And who are the ones who are punished for these people's laziness? The ones who actually try to better themselves through hard work.

They hypocrisy that is caused when people complain about the economic gap is horrible. The complainers usually say "why do they keep the hard working people down from being able to prosper", but in truth that can be flipped back on to them in asking "why do the one's who have been successful have to pay for the one's who lack ambition or drive to better themselves."

I believe that people should have healthcare insurance, but it should be done by the individual not the state. Instead of having the government use taxpayer's money and create an unjust system, why doesn't the government offer tax breaks to individuals who would be able then to use that money to buy healthcare insurance (instead of giving it to a already to big and overbearing government).

From my own personal experience while traveling to these countries I have noticed many things that would trouble your utopia of these places. In france you have riots by a weekly basis in which they argue why they can't get jobs (because employers are afraid to hire young people because of the restrictions of being able to fire nonsuitable employees, all because of UNIONs). In England you have big brother (the government) looking over your back all the time (and people complain about Bush's wiretapping(which has been done by both Republican and democratic presidents in the past 40 years)).

So is this what you really want, a government that is not just to all of its citizens and one that invades your personal rights that are provided by the constitution? So I will leave you with this, you probably should be a little less worried with why we criticize these nations on their "balanced economy" and be more worried about the islamo-fascist terrorists that are plotting right now trying to kill our western civilized way of life.

Answer 2

Because people in this country have been brainwashed to believe that this country has the best system in the world. That is not the case anymore. We have extreme capitalism. Which is not a good thing and the only people that can move ahead in this country are already rich. The government profits heavily from the peoples' misery and continues to thrive on it.
There is no checks and balances anymore because all the people in power have money. That it why no one is doing a thing to help the people in this country.

What the government considers good jobs are minimum wage you can not even cover your basic needs with that by the time they take out taxes.

The government also gives billions to other countries for charity. Funny how it filters into some bureaucrats pockets or for some corporation owned by some politician.Ultra rich do not need anymore money so why is it happening. Subjugate the people enough and they are happy to become slaves. Cheep labor.

The government does not want a country of free and independent people and we should balance our country and there is no reason why we could not do it except our own government has become the problem.

Well firstly I dont see London as a country in itself, although it does sometimes feel like a crazy game of spot the white man down there sometimes :P anyways enough of that . Yes the united states is the 'richest' country in the world, but remember that the wealth is a lot less evenly distributed amongst the US people than here in europe. So when we pay our taxes , as we have a relatively small population compared to you, we are able to fund the NHS as part of our tax payment. Considering the level of unemployment and low paid jobs that such a large population brings *cough* texas *cough* the cost of ensuring that there is enough tax money available to ensure that everyone is covered for hospital care in the US would be huge. And that money has got to come from somewhere , which either means higher taxes or decreased public service money. At least you guys dont have to pay over a quarter of a million quid to buy a house. think yourselves lucky . And to the guy that said boring old england lol you may be the richest country but omg you are SO behind on a lot of cultural things. what do you think we do? no doubt in your mind we all talk like hugh grant, say 'bloody' every 5 minutes and spend all day drinking tea and playing bridge in our floral wallpapered 'quaint' cottages jeez man lol that is why i would never live in the US i cant even imagine how bored u must be on a saturday night out there . =P so while your sitting in your little pansy 'club' pretending to be a big man getting lairy to justin timberlake ill be doin this :http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7KUuJbsa8BM

Answer 4

Most of the illegal Latinos are Mexicans that's why some American people created that stereotype of an illegal Mexican. Having a dream of a good life doesn't give someone right to cross the border illegally.If that person's life is in direct danger due to political reasons then the US allows these people to come as a political refugees. Also keep in mind that if we don't deport the convicted criminal illegals and instead keep them here then the taxpayers must pay for their expenses.Who wants to do this ? Nobody... Any illegal immigrant who committed a crime must be deported.The borders must be secured and the non-criminal illegal immigrants must be given an opportunity to work legally and pay taxes. Everything I just said is exactly what Obama has been doing by the way.

Esp when dianostics is a referral because they dont have the answers..Or like what im going through..they dont do the simplist of test to see if you have cancer so they say come back..this way they can get more money from youre insurence.

Answer 6

In the US we have unlimited opportunity. We enjoy our freedoms. "Balanced" is a euphemism for "fair" which is a socialist word. We don't want socialism in the US. It serves no useful purpose.
The US is the richest country on earth. I would not want it any other way.

Answer 7

We have a superiority complex and don't like to see that other peoples and nations aren't doing too badly. Include other countries on your list (e.g. most European countries, especially Germany).
