Like a child you keep saying that. And like the child you never offer a description of what you think they are. They say they are a Democratic Socialist country.

Did you happen to see how they solved their housing problem? What the right wing cannot grasp is that Democratic Socialism is based on a Christian worldview, and actually limits the amount of greed the US has granted to the few:

Its good... deserves its own thread.
excerpt:
Actually, no. The evidence from Finland – as well as numerous other pilot schemes across the world – shows the opposite is true. When people are given homes, homelessness is radically reduced, engagement in support services goes up and recovery rates from addiction are comparable to a “treatment first” approach. Even more impressive is that there are overall savings for government, as people’s use of emergency health services and the criminal justice system is lessened.
At the last election, the government committed to pilot a housing first approach in the UK. This isn’t good enough – we don’t need another pilot. During my time in Finland I didn’t see one homeless person. Within a few hours of coming back to London I walked past more than 100 rough sleepers queuing for food in the rain, just a few minutes from parliament. What we need is action. Ending homelessness is eminently achievable if we have the moral capacity and will to take proper action. We must overcome our prejudices and our apathy. The status quo is simply not good enough.

why?
no one wants a socialist country
that is just as bad and corruptible as an unfettered capitalist state
Suicides are higher in almost all of those nations. Why is that? I think your positions would lead us to look more like Venezuela.

and the founders set up a socialist program right into the constitution
the post office and the roads they needed to opperate
they didn't even care if it paid for its self
They are all very homogeneous societies with high suicide rates. Most have tiny populations with massive natural resources. The only place liberal ideology will take us is Venezuela.

and they are a capitalist country
Fascinating how liberals always want to tout low population homogeneous white countries as their source but ignore socialist shitholes like Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela and El Salvador.

so you hate the founders for their socialistic program?
I am always amused when liberals claim that tax treatments are a form of corporate welfare. It really is funny and yet moronic.

how is It not asshole
why do you claim capitalistic countries are evil for helping their citizens?
You have never been to Norway or anywhere in Scandinavia, have you?
...and because of the massive burden it is putting on Government budgets. It is unsustainable.
Trump hating liberals think they have open minds.
