Pretty sure we beat America in every metric that matters and already have systems Americans consider socialist.
Meaningless statement entirely. Nothing whatsoever to do with capitalism vs socialism.
Capitalism at it's base is the private ownership of capital and the product of that capital.
The farther toward socialism (or communism) you go, the more you go towards government taxation of capital or it's product all the way up to government owning all capital and it's product. You complain incessantly about wanting lower taxes, then complain that more social programs don't exist. Your very lack of consistency is why nobody has ever taken you seriously ever.
It's like back when you were talking about the "Paki" problem way back in the Ventrillo days. Me: "Paki"? You: "Immigrants from Pakistan". A year later, "That's racist!" to literally everything. Today? I'm sure the "Pakis" are great, everything is more racist than ever, but you want lower taxes for YOU, while everyone less fortunate than you needs to pay more to cover the costs of the "Pakis" so you can feel virtuous.

Australian tax rates could be 100% and id be fine lol, I retired already.
Wait until the wealth tax hits, and you have to sell off 90% your "non-taxable" assets for the "common good".
Fascists gonna Fascist. Always. You promote ideas when you think you've got yours. Virtue-signaling scum.
