Universal healthcare: government is the insurance, a handful of assholes don't get to be disgustingly wealthy off your suffering.

Universal private prisons: a handful of corpo fucks (core civic, geo group) get to be disgustingly wealthy off your imprisonment.

Not a day goes by that I'm not ashamed to live in the US.

This is why I don't understand "Make America Great Again". We have literally never been great.

Make America (a) Great (place to be a robber baron) Again

Exactly. MAGA has always been about returning to the 1920s "greatness." As in: massive wealth disparity, next to no regulation, just unbridled capitalism.

Depends which class of citizen you were.

America was once a great place... If you were an owning class parasite with ambitions to exploit the masses for personal gain and the starting capital to get the ball rolling.

Otherwise, yea, it's always been a pretty shit country.
