My friend got cancer and she lost her job. Luckily her parents pay for her insurance out of pocket. Even the treatments are covered, she still needs to pay for copay and deductibles. This is America. When you are down, we kick you further down. No developed country does that except us
but you're forgetting that the other countries tax you more when you are doing exceptionally. Policies like that lead to meritocracy and reduce everyone's chances of getting a yacht.
Everyone's chances of getting a yacht? You mean a small nu.ber of people?
yes, a chance to get a yacht. Similar to how everyone that buys a lottery ticket has a chance to win.
And yet the same people won't consider living in a better place for some reason.
You think it's easy for people who are poor or in debt to uproot their lives and move to another country they have no connection to? People have families and other social ties they don't want to leave behind as well.
Guess its not so bad then for most.
How can we move? Or roots are here. It is not that easy to move to another country.
Perhaps it will be easily to change people's mind such as yours
Country depends on immigrant labor, citizens can't imagine being an immigrant. Checks out.
