For the richest americans, life expectancy is 87 years, at the other end of the scale it is 72 years.

US statistics show that the difference in life expectancy between rich and poor has increased significantly over the past 15 years. Most marked is the difference among men. For the richest percentage, life expectancy is 87 years, at the other end of the scale it is 72 years, a difference of 15 years - and it is thus increasing. The United States is the only country in the world to have a population where life expectancy is declining. And it is above all the white working class that dies prematurely.

What's the life expectancy in North Korea that has almost zero capitalism? Oh. 71.9 years. And that's if you believe their government. Say, doesn't that mean N Korea's average is worse than our lowest?

Could black men shooting other black men in Democrat-controlled cities have anything to do with it? But I get it, capitalism is the entire problem.

Black males live to an avg age of 69, which gives them all of 2-4 yrs of collecting SS, depending on opting for collecting at age 65 or 67, before they die. It's a safe bet those folks don't get their money back from what they put in.

No it isn't but it is not the entire solution either... It isn't black or white(in more than one meaning), Doctor Phil has brainwached you... I hate to be the one chattering your beliefs. There are some grey shades in the world. Sorry... In ffact most things are in the grey area. Neither of the authors are socialists as far as I know. They are economist, one a Nobelprize winner.

This discuss the decline in lifeexpectences in the US in the last 15 years. I guess (I don't know) that black male had a low lifeexpectancy even before that and are therefor not part off the figures for the decline.

What you express may very well be what makes these "angry white males" razists. Your "black and white" way of looking at things and decades off propaganda has made them look in the direction shown, and never ever look elsewhere. But here is the problem they have. It has nothing to do with black americans or hispanics or whatever.

Problems with discrimination and razism doesn't mean other problems doesn't exists in your society...Putting the torch in the right direction (and trying to solve them, might (I am not saying defeat them but) reduce those problems as well. Other messurements to adress those problems (razism, discrimination) needs to be put in place off course. Like higher education and stricter rules for the police for example.

The solutions off the problem is yours and your politicians, whether they are ideologically to the right or to the left. But you have to see the problems for what they are in order to have any success in comming to terms with them. Ignoring or diminish them doesn't make them go away.

Yeah, but they count the people they shoot, so the real average is 80.
