This has entertained me since he's been in office. I like to focus on Biden and Pelosi when she was in office. The two them crack me up.

easy for you to say now but when it comes to pay higher taxes in order to get more transfer payments will you vote for it??
if i told you guys that you could do so much better as country by paying more taxes and giving cotnrol of your health system to the governemnt!would you do it??
Or having policies like nordic countries whereby if companies leave a place they are expected to replace some of the old jobs that were lost and pay E.I.
eventhough everyone(media) tells you it's against the american moral
If any of this is too socialist /unamerican to you then don't complaiin about your #+!*%+ system
(for too long your system affected and marginalised the poor but now middle class is feeling the heat so now you're looking for someone to blame)
all talk and no action

I didn't mean to make it sound like you're not entitled to complain about your taxes. Thus, I stated that you should criticize more on how your tax dollars are allocated by the politicians ( like what you stated with money being siphoned ).Originally Posted by wawaweewa
This is a very misleading argument. Technically it is true but in those other countries the citizenry gets a better bang for their buck. What do we get here? The money is siphoned off by large corporations on the one hand and given away in the form of entitlements to an equally small segment of the pop by politicians to buy votes. Those who actually pay a substantial amount of taxes ( in real terms) get $%++%!* on and %+%%*% over.Originally Posted by will068

Fiscal policy in action. Compared to other industrialized countries, US income tax rates are quite low.
You should be complaining about how the politicians decide to spend your money instead.
I paid almost 20k in taxes last year. For what? What I am getting for it? Why am I working 3 months out of the year for free?

I have no problem with a Universal Health Care system, per se. I don't see how my initial post implied that I was. The problem is, as UTVOL has stated, this thing that we have now was a political deal first and foremost. It will cost huge amounts of money, at least, initially. Also, I do not trust the corrupt and the incompetent in my government to get it right even if they have good intentions (which they do not).Originally Posted by will068

The other countries get a better bang for their tax money because their government do not allocate large portion of their Crown/Federal budget on defense. Instead, they spend it on health care and their public pension funds . Keep in mind that a significant amount of money funded to health care for other countries are not spent properly. Citizens for these countries take advantage of the free health care that they get ( e.g. seeing a doctor for a simple flu ). However, the social benefits of a publicly funded health care system outweighs the wasted extra funds spent. Unfortunately, these social benefits are immeasurable. Thus, they cannot be really placed as attributes if a country like the U.S is deciding if a publicly funded health care is the right alternative to pursue. All I can tell you is that it indirectly leads to a better quality of life for the citizens of the said country - with less crimes and less stress bestowed to its citizens.
With that said, I completely understand the American paradigm of not wanting a Universal Health Care. If you look after your health, why would you want to shoulder someone else's expense if they binge on fast food everyday ? Living in Canada, I believe the best type of Universal Health Care is a combination of both private and public. With the basic needs covered by the government, and the additional benefits covered employers (e.g. Dental, Private Duty Nursing, Athletic Physio threaphy etc.).
Sorry for going off topic.
Trust me, we also complain that our government politicians give away our taxes to their cronies.
