The cult of the line goes up

because that's not profitable enough for capitalism and the oligarchs

Too many people with too much power are making too much money, so they all work together to keep the cash cow going. It’s become pretty clear that’s what the US has reduced itself to at this point. It’s kinda nakedly obvious this whole thing is a giant fucking Ponzi scheme at this point - I’m fairly certain I’m never getting the social security I’ve payed into for my whole career.

That is the problem, americans are weak, pacified and subservient.
Bad enough that they already resign in their 'normal' pathetic conditions (no healthcare, student debt,..)
Even the current regime can't motivat them.
Near fascist, and still nothing happens.
No strikes, big riots, etc...
They have their little walks with their edgy signs, complain on social media about the bad orange man or go to their lame No Kings meetings.
There the fake-left Uniparty politician promises to make it all better.
You have to stay nicely between the lines, violence is bad and has no place in a democracy, simply wait a few years and vote for me next time. Trust me!
And they do.

More corrupt and less democratic than the countries that have got it probably

Cause that's "commumism."

1. Because conservatives do not want tax dollars going to people in outgroups.
2. Because most Americans lack an understanding of statistics. You cannot use the logic that it’s cheaper to pay on aggregate for services through tax dollars, nor that the evidence shows that the monetary losses of a socialistic system are less than the gain. They don’t understand.

Ask the shareholders and 1%.

The US system mostly works for a lot of people. There's not a lot of people willing to risk things getting worse for them so 10-15% of people get something better.

There's also massive doctor shortage issues that will only get worse with healthcare reform. Even if cost wasn't an issue, there wouldn't really be access.

Because the economy would take a significant hit

Everybody has to want it, including majority of politicians in power.
