the most rabidly right wing Brit would probably be regarded as a commie pinko begging to be relieved of their life by their American counterpart.
You noticed that too?
What most countries consider basic public healthcare is considered to be an affront to liberty, democracy, capitalism, and the American Way by many Americans.
Wasting zillions of dollars on the military, prisons, law enforcement, surveillance of citizens, and defense of corporations is OK though.
This always baffled me. Average citizen in US can not afford a normal cancer treatment provided by basic healthcare service available everywhere else in the western world, right? So if he gets cancer, which one stands pretty good chance to get, he has an option either not to get normal cancer treatment or bankrupt his own family forever. How's then small state beneficial to average citizen in this case? Why do people vote for small state if they are not rich and expose themselves to this enormous risk?
We know San Fransisco will be hit by another catastrophic earthquake within our lifetime, still hipsters and "bassoons" flock over there like it was made of cotton candy.
That's different. A lot of people have no choice, can't afford to move somewhere else because of the job or the family. Being against or for free general healthcare costs you nothing, you just have to vote. And again many, many non-rich people vote against free general healthcare and for small state, with very large chance to give themselves or some family member a death sentence. Amazing.
