We only have that because of the printing presses but yes, one does have to include our willingness to kill thousands of innocent people to maintain our place.

You should check out how they pay for those benefits sometime: Regressive tax systems. The U.S. tax system is the exact opposite: Progressive. Look very carefully at how that translates on the scatter plot chart:

How Other Developed Countries Tax and Spend

Shouldn't we be doing the same?

90% of Americans don't even know what socialism is.

Unverified fact I just made up.

Hillary Clinton: 41% of Democrats Are Socialists
Clinton made the remarks during the Shared Value Leadership Summit in New York

Every Progressive Liberal is a Marxist. What is the percentage of progressives in the party?

70 members of congress are self declared socialists.
https://www.tysknews.com/Depts/gov_p...sa_members.htm

75 members are in the Progressive Caucus and most are members or tied to the Communist Party USA.
Socialists in Congress with Ties to Communist Party USA - Watchwoman on the Wall


So, you tell me... is it hard to figure that more than 40% of the party are Marxists?

Hillary actually made the one excuse for losing that made sense. She, the DNC and MSM colluded against Sanders and his millions of followers. They had every right to be pissed.

Social Security is a LOSING deal for most workers - Associated Press

True, except for higher-income earners as there is no cap on the Medicare tax.
Before retiring in 1992, the last thing DH did for his boss was a study about who benefits from SS. His result is about the same as yours.

Our parents got way more than they put in. The rest is a break even. He went further and used his own contributions over the years. That resulted in we could have done way better if we had the money he and his employer contributed, invested every month since the beginning of his working career.

His study did not include Medicare.
