Does our government provide 100% health insurance? No. Free College? No. Paid sick leave? No. Free day care? No. Paid pregnancy leave? No. Disability insurance? No. Unlimited employment benefits? No. Probably forgot a couple of other things.
I don't even know why you would mention this when you clearly know our government pays for and provides much less than their governments do. You get what you pay for. You know how much Malawi collects? 15%. Wanna know how much Malawi provides its citizens? Or how about Niger. 11%. You're gonna have a blast in Nigeria, it's just 6%. Maybe you should consider moving there.
But I suppose I don't have to tell you about the conditions there, so I already know the answer to that.
