    Or US subsidizing your military defense,

    I’m sorry to say, but the reason the US sucks isn’t because they “sacrifice” so much to help others. This is a super common argument to make, but it’s not true.

    The US government spends more on healthcare per capita than most countries, in medicare, medicaid and veterans care. The reason everyone else doesn’t benefit, is because all that money disappears straight into the pockets of the super rich. You could have the same social programs without spending a single cent more, and probably spending less.
