    The goal is not to bring the rest of the world up to the US’s standards of living, the goal is explicitly to bring the US standard of living down to match the rest of the world.

    America already has most indicators of standards of living near and even below the bottom of OECD measures.

    Average lifespan, child mortality, litteracy, crime, bankruptcies etc. Why do you think Canada collectively threw up their lunch when the Cheeto Benito threatened us with having to live like Americans? No one wants to go down to your standards.
