The correlation for the standard measures such as life expectancy and infant mortality is very weak. Most rich countries have high levels of health, but so do many poor countries. Russia which by most measures is economically developed is worse than all but the most poverty stricken nations in Africa.

I'm sorry your premise is flawed. Fire and Police is not a socialist institution, they are public services paid for by the people that are in the area they service. This is why I believe that Democrats don't understand what socialism is. Socialism is the government ownership of the means of production. Like for instance GM. They now give GM tax breaks that competing companies don't get that distorts the market and will eventually hurt other car manufacturers. The school system is flawed because it is a government monopoly and lacks competition that capitalism would provide if there was a free market in education. Capitalism is not working properly because it has so much interference from government. The truth is there has been no free capitalist market for over one hundred years. Yes we need regulations to protect the public but realize this for every regulation we have we get farther from a working free-market system.
