Lack of more progressive cannabis laws in US Republican states. Many US maps showing the failings of GOP states (in the South for example). Especially when compared to Canada. Higher rates of incarceration, murder, poverty, maternal mortality, overdue debt. Worse healthcare, lower minimum wages. Lower percentage of female legislators. Lack of no-excuse postal voting.

GOP minimum wages

"Study after study has found that raising minimum wages has a positive effect on employment." - John Driscoll. Member of the Patriotic Millionaires. Sep 12, 2024 article.

Why do US Republican leaders hate Americans? Why won't they raise the US federal minimum wage above $7.25?
2021 April 22: 62% in US support a $15 federal minimum wage. Stop voting in Republicans if you don't want the low minimum wages found in Republican states.

7 Oct 2021: Reallocation effects of the minimum wage. "In January 2015, Germany introduced a uniform minimum wage of €8.50 ($9.47 an hour today). ... boosted wages of low-wage workers, did not lower employment, and induced a reallocation toward more productive establishments." 11 Jan 2022: Minimum wage in Germany to be raised once again in 2022. It's $13.28 an hour in 2024, and Germany has universal healthcare.

A $15 minimum wage would cost jobs, right? Probably not, economists say.

Canada vs US GOP

Return to top. Canada has legal recreational and medical cannabis across Canada. Republicans (GOP) block both in US. In Canada the average per-person cost of their single-payer universal healthcare is half that of the US. And Canada has a longer average lifespan. As for the US read a UnitedHealthcare denial horror story. Stats article: "The company dismissed about one in every three claims in 2023 — the most of any major insurer. That's twice the industry average of 16%". See Wikipedia: Medical debt. It's much higher in the US. US Republicans Voted Often to Kill Coverage of Pre-Existing Conditions. [34][35][36].

Canada compared to US: Legal cannabis nationwide, free universal healthcare, longer average lifespan, more harm reduction, lower overdose rate, much lower murder rate, higher median wealth per adult. Richer, safer, healthier.

Future elections: Vote.org and Vote411.org. Eventually people may realize that voting for Democrats is the only way to raise state and federal minimum wages from $7.25 to at least $15 an hour, regain abortion rights, get expanded Medicaid in the South, and Medicare for All, and flip the Trump tax cuts for the rich (2) back to progressive taxation. Then wealth concentration would be reversed.
