@SocialistMormon Life expectancy is influenced by cultural factors, not socialized medicine.

Almost 75% of the word’s population that lives under socialized medicine has a LOWER life expectancy than the United States.

It was widely anticipated before the implementation of the “ACA” that it would dismantle the healthcare system in the United States. Some argue that it was an unavoidable step towards transitioning individuals to a government-run healthcare system, relinquishing their healthcare choices to the government.

Also, Romney isn’t a conservative.

@ewarren So…. Does this mean you’re ready to return to free market competition now?

You must also consider that the dominant culture in United States no longer prioritizes health.

Your chart left out Russia, Venezuela, and North Korea, which all have socialized medicine and a LOWER life expectancy than the United States.

Healthcare, regardless of how “free” or widespread it becomes, cannot rectify an unhealthy culture.

@sltrib A flood of unvaccinated illegal aliens crossing the southern border from countries where measles is still endemic does have that effect.

@Oldbellercullen @RepCDMenefee What are billionaires not being held accountable for?

It’s sad to see people tricked into believing that those who create their jobs, opportunities, and prosperity are the enemy — a divisive narrative deliberately spread by politicians to garner votes through class warfare.

Wealthy individuals and businesses do not oppress workers. They create the capital, innovation, and companies that generate jobs in the first place. Without their investments and risk-taking, most employment opportunities (especially in non-essential sectors like entertainment, technology, fashion, travel, and dining) would not exist. These industries thrive precisely because consumers have disposable income and choices, allowing workers to select roles that match their interests, skills, and lifestyles rather than being forced into survival-level labor.

In a free market, competition for talent drives up wages, improves conditions, and expands options. Workers are not victims of the wealthy; they are beneficiaries of the value the wealthy help create.

Politicians promote this class warfare tactic to divide society, stoke resentment, and secure votes from lower- and middle-income groups. By framing success as exploitation, they distract from policy failures, justify higher taxes and wealth redistribution (which often expands government power and dependency), and position themselves as protectors of “the people” against a fabricated villain. It’s a classic divide-and-conquer strategy that weakens social cohesion while advancing political agendas.

The size of a military must scale to match the scope and multiplicity of threats it is tasked with deterring, and the United States faces uniquely broad global threats, including peer-level challenges from a rapidly modernizing China in the Indo-Pacific, Russian aggression in Europe, and Iranian/North Korean activities in the Middle East, while upholding treaty commitments to dozens of allies and securing vital sea lanes for 90% of global trade.

@JudiciaryDems It’s unfortunate that they tried to evade apprehension instead of returning home, resulting in such needless deaths. 😔
