Libs: But free healthcare!

2 RepliesThey have free health care because they pour so much of their money into taxes and government programs. You think they are poor but in reality basically everyone in Sweden lives better than the average American.
-
35 RepliesStrawman argument. Median income ==/== standard of living across cultures. The Swedes pour a lot of their income into taxes and social services. So although very few people are rich, everyone lives well. Where as here in the US we've basically spent the last 49 years defunding our government and tearing up the social contract. So even though we all have more money in our pockets, very few of us actually live as well as the Swedes and Europeans.

This doesnt factor in cost of living and uses a form of averaging such to cherry pick a result. I'm sure a mean average would find differently.

i work a lot with statistics and believe me: do not trust a single statistic that you havent made and/or faked yourself.

32 RepliesThing is, if you actually go to Germany or Sweden, even the most deprived parts, and then go to the poorest states in the US, it would be pretty obvious that whatever these stats say, people are far better off
