WHY BRITS SEEM POOR (THEY ARE)Gregory GichevI wanna eventually learn more about SwitzerlandJan 13, 2019, 10:09 PMCurt DoolittleThere is nothing to learn. Superior people and culture, superior geographic position, offering banking services to wealthy people who seek to avoid abusive taxation. Now, aside from that it’s fucking gorgeous, and the men all serve in the militia so they’re fit. etc. But they’re swiss german and they still have no fucking sense of humor…lolJan 13, 2019, 10:13 PMCurt DoolittleThe best country you can have is one that has a militia, white collar biz, the siwss method of governmnet, and a SMALL POPULATION. The trick isto be SMALL and WHITE.Jan 13, 2019, 10:14 PMDemelza HaysThat’s why I live in Liechtenstein :)Jan 13, 2019, 10:47 PMDemelza HaysAKA Switzerland on steroids.Jan 13, 2019, 10:47 PMDarren HowellDon’t know how Australia made it that high on the list? Certainly not representative of folks I know 😔Jan 13, 2019, 10:52 PMMichael DetrickIt would be very interesting to see a graph of the GAHDI per capita (isn’t there a glitch in saying “household” and “per capita” together?) adjusted to the cost of living in each of these countries as well as a comparison of the cost of living and the standard of living. Given these variables and based on my travels to many of the countries on this list, I would tend to predict that the USA will still be at the top of the list. All the more reason for us to adopt socialist policies so we can all be poor and miserable together.Jan 13, 2019, 11:08 PMKari Anne DorstadWell im happy to know that this is just a gross assessment! Yes I totally understand that ! I’ll pass all this info on to the next generation !Jan 14, 2019, 12:47 AMJohn ReevesLet a thousand Liechtensteins bloom! (Each with their own nuclear arsenal 😏)Jan 14, 2019, 12:59 AMJohn ReevesMurrika is wealthy because of our diversity and faith in God (Israel).Jan 14, 2019, 1:01 AMVengefül BobmoranIt’s amazing how much richer USA is compared to the other White and ‘new’ countries.

Also, WTF Canada, how can you be so poor while sharing so much with USA?Jan 14, 2019, 1:58 AMScott CameronMost of the big gains in personal wealth in the UK come from real estate. There are more people living in England (50+ million) than there are living in California (37 million) and the population keeps increasing despite a sub replacement birth rate. That’s why the British pay the highest real estate taxes in the world.Jan 14, 2019, 1:59 AMJohn ReevesThe UK is a giant real estate ponzi scheme. A more extreme, concentrated version of what boomers are doing in the US.Jan 14, 2019, 2:00 AMLucy GummyScott Cameron British millennials are so poor it’s not even funnyJan 14, 2019, 3:10 AMScott CameronLucy Gummy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrniPwzF7dQJan 14, 2019, 3:12 AMPhill KnyspelDoes this account for welfare like healthcare? Because brits do have access to that.Jan 14, 2019, 3:17 AMLars Lessingand forcing your USD on everybodyJan 14, 2019, 3:22 AMAlex MacleodAccess only in principle.Jan 14, 2019, 3:24 AMLisa OuthwaiteYeah, they have to force us to pay for that because nobody in their right mind would do so voluntarily.Jan 14, 2019, 3:24 AMCody CoxThis doesn’t accurately reflect income disparity and is misleading. I’ll bet a steak dinner that the average US joe is poorer than the average Brit.Jan 14, 2019, 3:26 AMSteven JacksonPhill Knyspel well we pay (those of us who work) £250/month for the privilege of waiting 3 weeks to see a gp and 8 hours in a&eJan 14, 2019, 4:07 AMLisa Outhwaite70% of the NHS budget goes towards treating lifestyle choice diseases. After pensions, it is our largest outgoing so in effect we spend more on managing people’s sugar habits than we do defence and education combined.Jan 14, 2019, 4:40 AMFrancesco Principi…like the italiansJan 14, 2019, 4:41 AMSteven JacksonLisa Outhwaite exactly, we pay to keep the irresponsible supplied with drugs and surgery when 90+% of the time a change in lifestyle or diet would cure everything.

Also, cousin marriage and birth defects are putting stress on the system hereJan 14, 2019, 4:50 AMPhill KnyspelI am not interested in arguing the merits and cons of state provided healthcare I was just pointing out that this should be included in regards to gdp per capita and the same goes for education.Jan 14, 2019, 5:21 AMPhill KnyspelAlso you only wait 8 hours because the nhs is strained due to mass migration. If this was reduced the nhs would be fine .Jan 14, 2019, 5:23 AMPhill KnyspelHow much would an insurance plan in the USA cost that covers everything like the nhs does cost?

Serious question to any American because I have no idea .Jan 14, 2019, 5:24 AMSteven JacksonPhill Knyspel that’s why I said £250/month is the average people pay towards the NHS. Business pays a good bit and some is redirected from other taxes.

Migration is not the only problem, it’s a government run system, management grows exponentially while the labour shrinks. Tenders for supplying the NHS are always overpriced, drugs cost the NHS many times more than supermarkets or private pharmacies. It’s unsustainable because it is not market based.Jan 14, 2019, 5:27 AMPhill KnyspelOk well how much do americans pay? How much is their average insurance plan that would provide the same service that I currently have access to in the uk ?Jan 14, 2019, 5:29 AMLisa OuthwaiteNHS is a monstrous cash-cow for pharmaceuticals, that feed off a sick and ageing population as a guaranteed source of income and with no market competition. It needs disbanding and replacing with something more competitive.Jan 14, 2019, 5:30 AMPhill KnyspelLisa Outhwaite how much does your current insurance plan cost and what are you not covered for ?Jan 14, 2019, 5:31 AMLisa OuthwaitePhill Knyspel I live in the UK.Jan 14, 2019, 5:32 AMSean RingWhat kind of tax deductions do Germany, Australia, Austria, and Canada have? Their tax rates are punitive. Is it because they have a high population of tax-savvy entrepreneurs?Jan 14, 2019, 6:03 AMNïcholas JüryMight be skewed due to the amount of billionaires who live in the US 🤷🏼‍♂️Jan 14, 2019, 7:10 AMGordon E. ComstockDemelza Hays So steroids make your country small. Good to know!Jan 14, 2019, 7:38 AMCurt DoolittleJan 14, 2019, 8:57 AMCurt DoolittleJan 14, 2019, 9:00 AMCurt DoolittleTHE USA FAVORS THE MIDDLE. THE UK THE BOTTOM.Jan 14, 2019, 9:03 AMCurt DoolittleJan 14, 2019, 9:03 AMCurt DoolittleThe UK will get worse faster from immigration of the third world than the usa.Jan 14, 2019, 9:04 AMCurt DoolittleITALY IS NOT A POOR COUNTRY.Jan 14, 2019, 9:05 AMCurt DoolittleITALY VS UK

https://countryeconomy.com/countries/compare/italy/ukJan 14, 2019, 9:05 AMCurt DoolittleIt is better to be poor in the uk, working class in canada, middle class in the usa, and it doesn’t matter WHERE you are upper middle outside of western civ. And it doesn’t matter where you are upper anywhere.Jan 14, 2019, 9:06 AMCurt DoolittleNote that middle-class in usa != middle class uk.Jan 14, 2019, 9:07 AMFrancesco PrincipiCurt you must consider that the quality of the pubblic administration in Italy are worst then in UK by far.Jan 14, 2019, 9:09 AMDeclan CahillIreland could’ve been like the swissJan 14, 2019, 9:15 AMCurt DoolittleOf course, yes, but that only means that italy would be as wealthy as france with better administration. (which would require better law, better courts, and an intolerant public)Jan 14, 2019, 9:23 AMZachary BertCan I come visit any of you?

I was looking at Ukraine or Mongolia.Jan 14, 2019, 11:20 AMZachary BertWhat [[[Kind]]] Of American?Jan 14, 2019, 11:21 AMPhill KnyspelOk so you live in the uk .Well the American healthcare system ranks lower than the uk in basically every metric .Jan 14, 2019, 11:28 AMLisa OuthwaitePhill Knyspel That doesn’t alter any of the points I’ve made above. Saying that another system is worse, hardly bolsters the argument.Jan 14, 2019, 11:37 AMPhill KnyspelEvery instance of a free market healthcare system accounting for similar populations is inferior.

Handing healthcare entirely to the free market always results in a more expensive and inferior service for everyoneJan 14, 2019, 11:39 AMCurt DoolittleTotal Taxes per Person in the USA is:

$8,943 (states vary from 4kpp to 16kpp in Delaware.

Rough cost of medicaid per person in the USA is:

$2k for child

$3-4k for Adults

$10k for the aged. (=3+ adults)

$20k for the disabled (=5+ adults)

The Private sector pays for working folk, and the public for non-working folk. Realistically working folk pay for themselves AND non-working folk.

The USA Spends waaaay more on healthcare per capita than any other country, but then we have AMAZING health care compared to every other country.

– Per capita national health expenditures:

$10,348 (2016)

– Total national health expenditures:

$3.3 trillion (2016)

– Total national health expenditures as a percent of Gross Domestic Product:

17.9% (2016)

– Percent of national health expenditures for hospital care:

32.4% (2016)

– Percent of national health expenditures for nursing care facilities and continuing care retirement communities:

4.9% (2016)

– Percent of national health expenditures for physician and clinical services:

19.9 (2016)

$- Percent of national health expenditures for prescription drugs:

9.8% (2016)

Principle differences:

1 – Waiting Time and time wasted. (best in usa)

2- Quality of customer service (Best in canada)

3 – Quality of Facilities (best in usa)

4 – Life extension (usa or canada)

5 – No ‘death panels’. (usa)

The USA follows the general rule that if you want to pay for it you can have it, and if you can’t pay for it you can have what we can justify. The USA is a middle class paradise. If you are working class then canada is better, and if you are underclass britain is better.

Aussies and americans have more in common.

Canadians and Brits have more in common.

Germans and americans have more in common than brits and americans.

Italians and americans have more in common than french and americans.

Very interesting.Jan 14, 2019, 11:48 AMWill HarmThe United States is the third most populous nation in the world and this based on the average. It would be interesting to see this broken down by state.Jan 14, 2019, 12:13 PMSamiran BhaleUK is clearly ahead of Italy it seemsJan 14, 2019, 1:44 PMSean RingFrancisco, Italian healthcare is far superior to the NHS. For the little guy, that matters, no?Jan 14, 2019, 4:46 PMAngadjeet SangheraVeeeery interesting.Jan 14, 2019, 5:10 PMGabriel YbarraThey’re the most broken people on Earth.Jan 15, 2019, 4:54 PMGross adjusted household disposable income per capita of OECD countries in 2017 (in U.S. dollars)
