OK...I infer from that list that what you are after is a more socialist environment. If that's not correct then please answer the part of my original question about what it is in your mind that makes those countries better.

"They are not socialist countries. They are capitalist countries that take care of their own in a way that we don't. Their wealth is not as concentrated in the hands of the wealthy like it is in this country."

I didn't say they were socialist countries....but they are more socialist than the US and from that I inferred that your "hybrid form of capitalism" is one that has elements of socialism built into it. Right?

"You asked me what my ideal was? I told you. However, I am realistic enough to know it would not work in the way the world is set up now. So I looking for a compromise.....a hybrid form of capitalism."

So....your ideal would destroy capitalism but because I pointed out to you that this never works long term you have now backed off to a "hybrid form of capitalism."

We're making progress here.
