USA is the most richest country on earth so why is European nations has less homeless, better health care & development for it's minorities?

Question

Basically to sum it all my question is why does corruption exists in widespread in America and why is is it healthcare privatized.
And not free like other countries like Canada which has way better healthcare similar to Europe.

And here where I live in UK the NHS (National Health Care Service) or taxes are paid for many things healthcare included and when we get sick. We got to doctors get prescription and any medications we get prescribed by our doctors cost 90% less than what they would've costed in America.

And the homeless population is way lower in France, Germany, UK, Sweden, Norway.

As well as much better prison system that instead of punishing criminals. They actually have programs where prisoners are thought many job skills. 

Thus when they get out of prison they get rehabilitated success rate is 80% and don't come back to prison again.

As well the minorities majority cities and town have development plan funded by government. To help minorities with their race, religion, culture.

Unlike U.S where the 90% of Black majority cities and town look like South American slum of cities. 

An native American reservation aren't funded, no city development plan nothing.

The US is the richest country on earth it can go to the right path but I'm surprised that other rich countries in Western European.

Whic aren't rich as US but are still wealthy nations are way ahead of US in near everything why?

Answer 1

Partly because we in the EU have multi-party democracies, with relatively strong worker-unions and significant leftwing political parties. "socialdemocracy"



Most of our populations are smart enough to understand that hungry homeless people aren't very productive

Answer 2

Because democrat socialism works much better when there are no republicans around.

Answer 3

Costs of political campaigns and power of Political Parties, the massive skew of wealth has the whole system of operations in the USA controlled by wealthy individuals and corporations. All societies/countries today are a mix of capitalism and socialism. The question is where in the mix each country is at a point in time. The endpoints of both are failures for very different reasons. Capitalism is so far towards the end that unless things are adjusted, major unrest could topple and shift towards the far end other way, as happened before in revolts. The wealth of the USA is extremely unevenly divided and costs of medical, housing, and education are particularly high. The Forbes 400 wealthiest control over $3 Trillion in assets. Even on a family basis considering it 1000 people, that is 0.0003% of the USA population.

The top 1% wealth was estimated at $35 Trillion a year ago, and the top 10% own over 80% of the nation's wealth.

There is no perfect measurement, but the United Nations offers an Inequality Adjusted Human Development Index

Wiki report summary

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_inequality-adjusted_HDI

USA is ranked #28 !

#16 when inequality is not accounted for, and only considering averages.



Add: The false narrative answers about taxes, immigration, diversity, values, etc are part of how the wealthy keep control. There is some truth that as USA supports the military and health care industries, the rest of the world is able to spend less on these things. 

 

Answer 4

They are better at training their children to be responsible,  law abiding,  respectful,  productive citizens,  instead of indoctrinating people to be used as puppets for political gain.   As to the other things.....have you checked the tax rates in those countries that you claim are better. Some are pushing 70%.  Some that provide education only do so if students pass aptitude tests and then only for jobs that are predicted in the future.  Assigned housing, jobs, and no opportunity for advancement...doesn’t sound like freedom to me.    It’s easy to generalize but take a closer look in depth before you do.    The grass is rarely greener on the other side.  

Answer 5

try this....



go to any of those other nations and try to enter without obeying their immigration laws... refuse to pay taxes....refuse to learn their national language....in fact, demand that their schools teach your kids in your language, not theirs....then demand all the privileges of full citizenship... just like millions do here in the inclusive USA...



.....see how "humane" and "liberal" they are as they process your deportation....

Answer 6

Because of a more homogeneous culture.

None of them have even close to our population

None of them have a boarder with a third world country that constantly sends illegal invaders into their country to sponge off of their public assistance.

They don't have an "entitled class" that believes that everything should be provided by the government.

They charge outrageously high taxes.

 

Funny how you liberals are never able to honestly look up all the facts isn't it?
