Do you respect Americans?
“You have universal healthcare. You work 35 hours a week. You retire at a young age. You don’t work nearly as hard as we do in the United States. You have many more benefits in Large part because we pay for all of your security or a large part of it.”
Can the US really blame the rest of the world for their poor choice to spend so much of their money on ‘security’ (aka, capturing the world’s resources for themselves)? Did we ask them to build military bases everywhere and to flood the world with arms?
When the cold war ended, there was a peace dividend to be had. Did they take it? No, they chose to plunge headlong into one military misadventure after another. The military industrial complex is rarely challenged or even recognized in the US.
They don’t believe in nor are they willing to pay for the socialist measures that make life in Europe, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc more livable.
