Now here's are two really great things about our CAPITALISTIC DEMOCRACY:
1) There IS very little socialism
2) This country is not a prison. Those who want to wallow in failure with those living in a European style socialist crap hole are free to leave.

Which crap holes? Those with better healthcare less expensive and better outcomes? Those with happier citizens? Just about any metric you can name they are doing better than we are.
It never was the way, we were the place other countries sent their people to learn how we did things so well, like education, postal service, interstate high way systems, healthcare, on and on. US was NUMBER 1 in almost everything.
Now, for example, we rank 33 out of 36 in infant mortality in OECD countries. So, yeah, we suck, and as long as a certain segment of the country keeps pushing US exceptionalism, it won't get better.
Complaining about problems is not the same as hating our country. I earned may right to complain about what is going on. I love my country and I want it to be number one again - do you?
