this isn't about freedom
stability is relative, is any society truly stable?
It connects to the virtues of how our presentation around the world works. Without us using "Freedom" as the base of the ideals....stability wouldn't work. It's never been Free when we are taxed for everything and the banks are free to steal people's money. People aren't free to protect themselves with guns from bad guys but the government gives bad guys guns to kill innocent people.
we don't have a safety net like many of the countries listed and they're a lot more to the number than meet the eye .
We have a safety net....it's called welfare....even the corporations get it and get more money from it.
Poverty is very real in America, you don't have to look to far to find it.
This is the realist thing you wrote on here.
At the same time life is about choices and you're free to make them. For good or for bad.
Sorry my friend there are people born into poverty..that isnt a choice.
