@1490wayb !!! WRONG !!!
Actually, Canada and the rest of the developed world have FAR more generous social policies. They offer universal health care, bettter pre-K support, and better retirement policies.
Regarding immigrants, among developed nations Germany and Poland are consistently top hosts of refugees relative to their population size, with Germany hosting over 2.75 million (roughly 3.4% of its population).
The US is in dire straits mostly due to the pernicious lie that tax cuts will eventually pay for themselves. This hasn't happened in the 45 years since Reagan preached it, but the urge to get something for nothing is too strong and prevents sound fiscal policy.

@ElwoodBlues The present UK Government is not cutting taxes. It is increasing them, one effect being making it far harder to run businesses and employ anyone.
What our governments of both parties have done since the Conservatives at the same time as the Reaganb era is cutting, cutting and cutting public services, and giving away vast amounts of assets to foreign companies, stock-markets and even countries. This worship of so-called "inward investment" is as naive as the term's grammar, for its result obvious to anyone except a politician is that it is tantamount to giving the country's money away abroad.
