don't fool yourself, there are plenty of non-capitalist countries that score higher.
for example:

just google Denmark
Now I'm not saying Socialism is the answer for a Nation the size as the U.S. but going around tooting a U.S.A is the best just because attitude isn't necessarily right.
and back to my original point, there is another option in the "Libertarian party" but the public won't get to hear their position, and that's a shame and not right in my book and I don't even agree with the Libertarians on a few issues, but still they're the only ones with a different opinions on many issues. |
Not really fair to compare those kinds of ratings for the US vs micro-European countries. Denmark has a population of 5.5 million. That's about the same as Minnesota.
America isn't and can't be #1 in everything, just by virtue of its size. But it's the most powerful and richest nation in the world, and it ranks consistently well in just about every measure that relates to quality and longevity of life.
We don't get everything right, but unless you want to live in a tiny, culturally homogenous country that relies on others for its security, you can't do much better than the US.
