Quote:Of course, borrowing money, especially when it is a lot, is never good. But to use this as an argument for health care reforms seems very ridiculous to me.Why do you think what is happening is reform? It is different, but probably not better. What makes you think that the government will do better at this than they do at any other thing they do?
Quote:You can use the 'have pity on coming generations' argument for a lot of things, but not against health care. These are really the words from somebody who has good health care opportunities and who can't imagine himself in the shoes of somebody who hasn't.Are you speaking for yourself? My family has been uninsured for over a year. I think I know and live the issues.
Quote:There is enough money to go round in the US, if you don't want health care for everybody because you are afraid of asking a few % more taxes to people with lots of money that is fine, but don't start crying about future generations.Yes, you are very compassionate. Would you mind paying for my families health care eppie? It must give you a nice warm feeling knowing you are forcing someone else pay for the amenities of all. There is no need to actually be charitable anymore with people such as yourselves ensuring that every person is forced to fork out their hard earned sweat and future economic security.
Quote:The trillion dollars of health care will by the way mainly be spend on workforce inside your own country, and on medicine (of which you also produce enough), so money that feeds directly back into your economy.Well, yes, I guess you can call it an economy. Much as the Soviets used to have, but it's hardly a free market.
Quote:But I guess the right of some people to be filthy rich is more important.Another idiotic knee jerk liberal platitude. Who do you think pays taxes? Rich people? Bahahahaha. No, they rig the reins of power such that they never have to pay taxes. The bulk of taxes are paid by the middle class, and always will be. You are taking from the middle to give the the lower middle and lower classes. The rich are out of your grasp unless you propose to tax actual wealth.
