Doctor in Portugal has healthcare and won't die at 55 from a preventable heart attack.

Instead, OK guy gets to have a Ford F-150, so he can drive a truck when he's not driving his truck.

And he doesn't have to pay high taxes, which is nice because it means his kids only get school 4 days a week: https://okcfox.com/news/local/rural-school-district-district...

Of course that means he has to be thousands more in daycare, but at least it's not the gubrment!
