It has nothing to do with capitalism. You can have capitalism and society that is aware that having good public services pays-off, as overall spending on schools, security, etc. will be smaller if done at the whole country level.
In the USA it is not that easy to achieve, as, historically, it is not a single country but a union of "states" that is countries, so the main boss should not interfere too much with local bosses and force on them particular "federal" laws.
- amelius 2y agoThat doesn't answer whether it is fair. Capitalism will always push for a smaller government and with all the power they have at their disposal. At the same time, why can capitalists have their rich-making business schemes while nurses and other (semi) public servants are stuck with whatever society decides is good for them? The system is rigged in favor of capitalists.
