you probably won't put much weight into any of the meaningful data other people use to measure success of a healthcare system.
I would rather go on facts than the opinions of others who have never been accustomed to the healthcare of other nations. Of course, somebody who doesn't have insurance and gets a large bill is going to say our healthcare system is bad when they hear about other countries having "free" healthcare. I'm sure if they knew about how inefficient and tax expensive that system was, they would see our healthcare in a better light.
your first paragraph likens scientific discoveries with establish linguistic norms. Not sure how or why you're making that huge of a leap.
The fact of the matter is that you don't have a grasp on what facts are. This is probably why you think socialism is good and the democrat agenda is for your benefit.
Don't be on the side of the british, be on the side of the americans!
I'm on the side of all Americans even the socialist, baby killing, money stealing left that believe in false promises while being lead to the slaughterhouse. I feel sorry for them and forgive them for they know not what they do.
what do have against increasing taxes on the richest people in this country
The fact that they already pay more taxes than everybody else. For the corporations that don't pay taxes, the reason they don't is due to deductible donations that they willingly give up to help others rather than have the money stolen from them.
How you can take what a multimillionaire says about the fairness of the market and think those statements apply to you?
If we tax the rich to a point they cannot make profits, this will tend to force them to move their companies and money to other countries. This will affect everybody in the long run through higher taxes for the middle/poor classes, less jobs, and less choices in the market place which will destroy the economy. I don't know about you, but I dread the idea of eating my pets just to feed myself and my family.
You have nothing to gain from supporting these policies of easing the tax burden on the wealthy.
Most, if not all, of us have gained from Trumps policies. Have you not been paying attention to how great the economy has been?
The wage increase that trump supporters are proud of, went to the wealthiest people, we didnt get that.
Well, I don't know about you, but since I am self employed, I guess I can say my wages didn't increase (even though I have been making more sales the past couple of years which could be assumed to be an increase in wages). Maybe you should go speak with your boss (if you have one) and ask for a raise.
The truth is that the top tier's earnings have only increased 12% where the earnings of the middle/lower classes have jumped up 20% since Trump has taken office. I'm not sure how good you are at math, but maybe this will help you: 20% > 12%
But yet you chant the mantras, and repeat your go to slogans, which is just a form of brainwashing.
Yeah, um, since I'm a republican, I don't have leaders to tell me what to do, so I don't have mantras. I go by facts that are out in the open if you just open your eyes to see them. I don't just focus on the minor details of "oh, the rich have more money than me, they should pay more. What bad could come from that?" I actually think of the broader picture of what the negative effects will be as well.
Here's the reality, no where on earth are you going to not have to pay taxes. And when those taxes go to public services: fire dept, police, road crews, military, education, criminal justice, or the infinite number of other services made available to you as well, that's socialism, most countries require a level of socialism to function.
This whole thing about social services are socialism is a tired, overly used talking point of communist that only want to take control.
Our social services do resemble a lax version of socialism, but they are more of a "pay your fair share" system rather then spreading the wealth. We all need to have fire dept, police, roads, educations, etc, so these are services that benefit everybody. We do not need to steal money from the richest just because someone refuses to work.
It's just a word, no need to be afraid. It doesnt mean the commies are coming back to kick your door in and steal food off your table. As fox news would have you believe.
Take a look at Cuba and Venezuela and get back to me on this.
So back to my point. If taxes are going to increase for people that are already multimillionaires, cause the tax increase is after 10 mill. What do you care? You're not a multimillionaire. You will get the socialized healthcare.
I don't want socialized healthcare. Why are my taxes going to increase to pay for something that I don't want or need? How can you justify stealing money from anybody to pay for your own wants? That's very selfish of you, comrade.
You said yourself that behind politicians theres a corrupt rich dude in his pocket. Why be on the side of that rich dude?
Because we need that rich dude to provide the goods and/or services we need/want at reasonable prices and to pay the outrageous tax rate our dumbocrat politicians keep jacking up more and more. If that rich dude is gone, who is going to pay for these silly socialist programs that the Socialist Demonrats want to force upon us?
THANK YOU WEEDZ a mod with good knowlege the US system is so broken grant it working for me wouldn't be sufficiant enough I'd dare anyone to be in my position for one month (handicapped and on Social supplementary income) try living on your own in the process too and find a job (hint you cant unless you want to be thrown under the bus by next month) i feel trapped by SSI basicly a spiral outta control SSI needs to be reworked and fast
Unless you are a quadriplegic, which I doubt since you are able to type a lot of nonsense on this site, there are other ways to make money other than sucking of the teets of SI. You can start a hobby making crafts and sell them online or to your community. You can save up to buy stuff at garage sales or bulk online orders, and sell them for a profit. That's how I got started with my business.
Trust me, once you become self-sufficient, your outlook on life and society will become a lot better and you won't post silly stuff about how people should feel sorry for yourself and take care of you through taxes.
