[QUOTE=ItchyBarracuda;19355370]Monaco (more commonly known as Monte Carlo). No taxes. Wonderful place, I consider moving there someday myself.[/QUOTE] So you're going to tell me that if we increase the taxes in the united states, all of the tens of thousands of very rich people in the United States will go and live in one tiny city-state whose economy is based almost entirely on tourism? You know, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany all have much higher taxes, but they seem to be doing perfectly fine without entrepreneurs, as you say any country with higher taxes would lack.

[QUOTE=ItchyBarracuda;19355444] I don't need to justify myself. Just wait for the day to come and you'll see how wonderful your life won't be.[/QUOTE] Universal Health Care, well-funded public schools, OH WOE IS ME!

What a tool. He ignored mine as well.

[QUOTE=Sigma-Lambda;19355525]Universal Health Care, well-funded public schools, OH WOE IS ME![/QUOTE] Where has Universal Health Care actually worked? Cite me one place and back up that citation with details. As for the Schools, I'll get back to you on that once LOHS's CFE program actually works.

God opens up Rush Limbaugh's chest to weigh his heart against a feather but... he doesn't have one! God is baffled!

Also the Popeye's I visited in Canada had worse health standards than most fast food places here in the US. Also when has minimum wage been considered rich? Also isn't this thread suppose to be about Rush Limbaugh? Guess what he's out of the Hospital!
[QUOTE=Glaber;19360746] So Canada doesn't count? Sorry but I'm middle class.

If you did any research, you'd see that Canada has a higher average life expectancy and a lower infant mortality rate than the U.S.

[QUOTE=Sigma-Lambda;19360314]Canada: [url]http://www.medhunters.com/articles/healthcareInCanada.html[/url][/QUOTE] According to this the main complaint is not the quality but the wait time. [QUOTE=Medhunters article] Q: What are the current concerns among patients? A: Waiting times to see specialists and for diagnostic tests have become a point of issue for Canadians. According to a study by the Fraser Institute, a conservative think tank, such waiting times have increased from 13.1 weeks in 1999, to 17.7 weeks in 2003, to 17.9 in 2004. Long waits to undergo elective surgery have also become an issue in recent years, as have crowded emergency rooms in the country's largest cities. One response to these concerns on the part of patients has been to seek treatment in the United States or overseas. While "medical tourism" is derided by some in Canada as queue-jumping, others see it as a legitimate means of dealing with the healthcare system's shortcomings. The province of Alberta currently reimburses patients who have sought medically necessary physician, oral surgery, and hospital services not immediately available in Canada. The frequency of adverse events, or errors in treatment that might harm the patient or the outcome of their treatment while hospitalized, has also raised concerns in regards to the country's healthcare system, both among healthcare workers and patients.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Denmark: [url]http://yglesias.thinkprogress.org/archives/2009/10/health-care-in-denmark.php[/url][/QUOTE] Hmmm, I only got one complaint from reading the article alone. " Denmark has the highest taxes in the world." I rather not have to pay such high taxes. [QUOTE]Sweden: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muSd9xw1qwo[/url][/QUOTE] This is actually better than what's currently proposed in the healthcare bill. It is also not a single payer system since patients are still have to pay a "user fee". However the video says that "the system fails the seriously ill". I know the single payer thing was suppose to be stripped out of the bill, but it is what Obama is a proponent of.
[QUOTE=Glaber;19361450] According to this the main complaint is not the quality but the wait time. [/QUOTE] But the fact of the matter is that Canadians are still healthier than people in the U.S., with a higher average life expectancy and lower infant mortality rate. Clearly the wait times aren't that much of an issue. [QUOTE=Glaber;19361450] Hmmm, I only got one complaint from reading the article alone. " Denmark has the highest taxes in the world." I rather not have to pay such high taxes.[/QUOTE] So instead of paying the taxes, you pay for your health insurance anyway. But in America, it's possible that you could be denied coverage.
[QUOTE=Glaber;19360746]Says the one who forgot to spell check.[/quote] [quote]Guess what he's out of the Hosipatial![/QUOTE] GUESS WHO ELSE FORGOT SPELL CHECK :D you did, bro [quote]So Canada doesn't count?[/quote] Canada has good health care.

[quote]According to this the main complaint is not the quality but the wait time. [/quote] Guess who contributed to that? Canadian conservatives. [quote]Hmmm, I only got one complaint from reading the article alone. " Denmark has the highest taxes in the world."

[quote]This is actually better than what's currently proposed in the healthcare bill. It is also not a single payer system since patients are still have to pay a "user fee". However the video says that "the system fails the seriously ill". [/quote] Of course it is. The current healthcare bill has been gutted. America not only fails the seriously ill, it fails the moderately ill.
Socialism, because if your poor enough, robbing the rich is justified.
[QUOTE=Novistador;19366817]Socialism, because if your poor enough, robbing the rich is justified.[/QUOTE] hey thanks for swooping in, ignoring the discussion going on, and giving us your silly and uninformed opinion on politics, we're all really glad you did that
I love how every thread always turns into a heated argument. [editline]03:37AM[/editline] all of you are wrong. rush dosn't exist. he is a robot
im dumb so idk ppl like this i hope he is alrite tho
[QUOTE=Splode a Pinga;19350922]Sure, conservatives are a threat. You liberals are only spending money like water falling from the Niagara falls, when we have [I]less[/I] than none to spend. You're robbing the future of those yet born.[/QUOTE] you realize large amounts of spending is hardly a characteristic that strictly applies to liberals. look at reagan
He did not have a heart attack :objection:
[QUOTE=Splode a Pinga;19351104] And if you look into it, FDR's 'New Deal' brought new depths to the depression.[/QUOTE] This is true. WWII knocked us out of the (worldwide)depression.
from another perspective, you could say the new deal was socially necessary to prevent the spread of communist ideas, something which was the constant worry of the US government since the russian revolution
I might hate Rush Limbaugh for his political views, but at least he (mostly) defended his views with logic and understanding; unlike his colleagues at Faux News, who all spread their agenda with lies and slander.
[QUOTE=Conscript;19368677]from another perspective, you could say the new deal was socially necessary to prevent the spread of communist ideas, something which was the constant worry of the US government since the russian revolution[/QUOTE] Hm, hadn't thought of that. I don't really think America would ever go communist though. Russia had different circumstances leading up to the revolution.
[QUOTE=Splode a Pinga;19358232]I'm a senior in high school. I've taken all required history and human society classes, and then some.[/QUOTE] Pay attention then because u dont kno SHIT.
His heart couldn't take the hate no longer
