The UK is not a capitalist country in the proper sense of the term, it's a mixed economy.
I believe keeping what you earn is a right. You believe free medical care is a right. Not mutually compatible. Glad I don't live in the same country as you.
- corin_ 15y agoIs there any true capitalist country then? Where do you live that you don't have to pay any taxes?
- javert 15y agoIs there any true capitalist country then? No. And I do have to pay taxes. I live in a country where there are a lot of people that do agree with you (the US), so my remark was a bit facetious. Actually, it's a double punishment to live here, because not only is the government taking lots of money to pay for the medical system, but Americans are too incompetent, broadly speaking, to run a centralized medical system. So the more the government spends, the more it sucks. At least you Europeans can make socialized medicine "work" in some sense of the term.
