And at the 240 year mark we've widened the gap even more. So again STFO our free market capitalist shores.



And if I could briefly add some important distinctions to ......some other countries get free universal healthcare:

The kind of Government-run garbage (see Obamacare) that takes away then limits doctor choices, forces people to be on govt. dole, drives up the cost for middle and higher income citizens for the benefit of the poor (who already happen to be covered by what we Americans call a decades old "safety net"), and offers a downgrade in service. Makes death an poor-quality life even closer......brilliant!

Don't believe me? Go ask Liam Neeson about how it was so easy to get immediate care for his wife.........err, late wife, in Canada. All of his money could not get past the free & universal - and disfunctional - system. Or, how about all the Canadians that go the U.S. to the Cleveland clinic instead of waiting in line to eventually die in some govt. health care facility. What, don't wanna die the patriotic death in your homeland?

But we need not worry anymore. PRESIDENT Trump will wipe out the idiotic, non-bipartisan Obamacare crap, and replace with a market based solution. Like the God-knows-how-many how many auto insurance companies - big and small from Allstate to Direct and.....Amica? (who's Amica?), we'll let health care providers compete against each other across State lines with lower prices and better service to get our money for - only if we want it - health care.

Do that ring a bell? Competition without idiotically high UK, Aussie, or Canadian taxes making car prices lower in the U.S.???

F-ing American liberal/pre-Civil War slavery loving Democrats - and Europeans - always telling people how to live their lives....all because we freedom-loving Americans are soooooooooo stupid and can't make the right choices for ourselves and our families. That's why Hillary just got her Female Chauvinist Pig head kicked in.

Make America great again, b____es!!!
You had me until you started nut huggin' Trump.
The only thing Trump has going for him is that he ain't Hilary. That bar is so low as to be a serious trip hazard.

I'm going to ignore the rest of your post and just focus on this tidbit.

You do realize that the ideals of the 2 main parties have changed quite a bit over the last 150 years right?

To put it in the most simplest of terms for you, if slavery were still a thing, it definitely wouldn't be the Democrats advocating for it

And Hilary lost because of many things, but I don't think your reasoning even comes close to explaining it correctly.

FSM-bless America!

Correct. That's how China got Mao and communists.

As for prices, America is the cheapest because a) $USD is still the world currency and b) less government regulation and taxes

I feel like I lit this fire and walked away.
I apologize for NOTHING.
Money is going to begin to get more expensive very soon. Interest rates are going to inevitably rise and financing everything will cost more.
I'm not too worried about the threats of import tariffs (particularly because my car was built it Alabammy). Apparently the markets aren't concerned with it either.
Collectibles are going to start to shrink, and this means classic cars too. Real investment opportunities are already reemerging meaning holding money in cars, art, wine as collateral is going out the window. So keep your eye on that 250 se sunroof coupe you've been oogling.
So this is like my opinion man.
Those who hate us for our freedom and cheap Mercedes Benz' go head n hate. Watch some American football tonight and watch the most hated team win because Tom Brady is a winner and winners win no matter what no matter how. Rooting for the underdog is is cliche.
2017 Trump America. Land of the free, home of the what's it to ya.

The irony is that it is back to how it was before. The richer are even richer and the poor become poorer.

Mao was known to be quite indulgent in the "good life" after he overthrew the KMT and took power.
