    The quality of life in America is second to none.

    This was your claim and I debunked it very easily. Do you think government-provided healthcare is capitalism? The US does spend a lot of money, but that doesn’t prove anything other than the US having a lot of money.

        I’ve offered rankings based on metrics, you’ve just offered your opinion, but somehow you think others are arguing based on feelings. People trying to move to the US just means places that are worse exist. No one is arguing against this. What part of government-provided health care is capitalism?

            Economics and politics are tightly intertwined. Economics is essentially how resources are distributed.

                Okay, so by your definition, government-provided healthcare is not “people take money and start businesses” thus the quality of life increases are not attributable to capitalism.

                    You’re giving too broad a definition to capitalism. I’m curious to know what you consider communism.
