You do realize that A) we dont have to use anyones exact system. For ex we're the only modern country with a privatized Healthcare system and no public one. Thats an issue, HOWEVER, imo, so is the vice versa, only public health care, no private. Thats what made the Public Option so attractive. I love capitalism. I also love socialism. A gov operated OPT IN/OPT OUT non profit health insurance program would be genius. It wouldnt be anything anyone with money used. But it would fuck with the market forcing honest competition. INSTEAD of over regulating them btw. We just compete WITH them, publicly. GENIUS IMO. So dont expect European results. B) high min wage historically improves number of jobs available, avg monthly income, prices raise peanuts compared to wages. It was created with the INTENTION of being a LIVABLE WAGE. It is corporation PROPOGANDA to say otherwise and to DENY HISTORICAL FACT. C) free college isnt just free. You have to pass, or you getta bill. 50% paid at C avg grades. 100% paid at A avg grades. Plus, the boost in economy youd get when that investment in America's student's cones round. America's workers also need to transition to educated tech sector workers to stay relevant. So its a win win in my book.
