Other countries seemed to have some common sense when it comes to capitalism in that they largely don't allow capitalist incentives to entirely consume areas of public good, such as healthcare / education / and yes even government services such as tax collection.

The USA kind of forgot during the cold war that crony capitalism is a thing and the incentive to make the most money possible isn't compatible with providing public goods.
