Why can't I be a communist in America "the land of the free?

Is America really the land of the free and the land of opportunity?

  • First to begin I am American so don't think I am foreigner who just hates the USA. I came to the realization that the US is built to keep the weak and the poor down. Think about it, what other countries you know use the Social Security System and make citizens pay for health care?? Sure we have the best health care but it doesn't come in handy if you cant afford it. While growing up I use to think the USA was the best place in the world, but now that I am grown I realized I don't have that much freedom. When I was eighteen I was immature so I decided to take out a loan to buy a vehicle instead of just buying a cheap car with cash. Eventually I defaulted on my car loan and the car was repossessed, although I already paid off the bank like 2 years ago the repossession still shows up on my credit report. Now the sad thing about the US is that your credit score is linked to EVERYTHING (your name might as well be those 9 numbers...jk) So because of this I cant get loans, certain jobs that require a clearance, I was even denied an apartment once because of that. So as you can see the system is designed to mess up your life once you make one mistake. I would have understood if I was felon but all of this is unnecessary for a car that was repossessed 5 years.....ALSO paid off for in full The second thing is health care. When I visited the Caribbean I was able to buy my asthma inhalers at a pharmacy for $20 (that's like $4 in the US). No prescription was required since asthma is a deadly chronic lung disease. Apparently the department of health doesn't really care about that in the US, for me to obtain an inhaler I would have to see a doctor for a prescription. Without health coverage that would cost around $500 including the visit to the doctor (probably more). So by going to another country I saved around $450+. So why do other countries offer free health care? Is it because they care about the survival of their citizens and the US only cares about money? The way I see it the US shouldn't be fighting a war because we are already fighting amongst ourselves. The US government was so busy screwing over its own people that they didn't realize that terrorist groups were plotting against them. Then the government was forced to put out more tax dollars to send thousands of troops to the middle east to find Bin Laden. Us US citizens are being crewed from all sides, I guess that's how the US government obtains its power. They design strategies to keep the poor down and they charge and tax us for EVERYTHING, they don't even care if we live or die.......really sad.......but then again this is 'the land of opportunity, and the land of the free'........who ever said that had to be rich.......lol

Sounds like you already made your answer and I have to agree with you BUT we have the freedom to make these for example america you can buy a gun so on but the more laws they come up with the more they try to restrict freedom all in the name to keep you safe however we have the freedom to choose our doctors and those doctors can speacialize in a field as so America has a greater wealth of doctors and I know how you feel about this credit many people find themselves in your shoes and the war hell the war was for companys oil and PMCs which made bank to be honest I hate what America has become we suck the tit of oil when we have plently of options pollute in the name of profit not really much to do political partys have us by the balls it's just choose this guy or the other one and pray they don't f up

Wow, that is a long "question." I'm not going to read it, because it looks like it's mostly a big rant. Yeah, we've made some stupid mistakes, just like every country on the planet. Still overall a pretty good place to live. You know why? Free refills on your pop. That's why.

Didn't you ask this rant a couple of days ago. If you don't like the US, you are free to leave. That's a freedom you don't get in some countries. If you want free healthcare, remember you get what you pay for. And if your credit is as bad as you claim, there has to be more negatives than just one repo.
