Your right it is already happening and what will happen after this **** passes? It gets worse and then not only does it get worse but people like you just sold some more of our freedom to the government so you bleeding heart liberals can feel better about yourselves. Man there is always going to be a class war no matter where you live. There will always be elites and those that are extremely poor. It has been that way since the beginning it will be that way until the end!

PREACH MY BROTHA PREACH


I have to agree with this, I'm not going to school and racking up close to 150k in student loans to get out of college to pay for my own issues and the idiots you saw in class going no where, we all saw them, the idiots that didn't give a **** about education or anything else but their poor excuse for an existence

Which US politician wants their people to see the world for all it's splendor??? None of 'em. They want their citizens dumb and stressed and scared to lose their jobs. They work harder when they can't afford their Happy Meals and Whoppers. In those countries, the politicians are scared of the public and the citizens make the policy that is right for them and their needs. Here, the public makes youtube videos telling everyone to leave Brittany Spears alone.
Republican: Keep working, keep working...move along...nothing to see here. The rest of the World is a **** hole and you are better off working in that Coal mine so that my profits go up and you and your family will continue working for me and my family.
Keep poking fun and thumping your chest on how great you have it. Then walk down to the homeless shelter and get up on that soap box and try to say that same rhetoric while looking those poor souls in the eye. Go down to the courts when the IRS files to take the only homes and property of elderly men and women because they have not paid their $400 in taxes the past 2 years. No compassion for those who we were all raised to look out after. The poor, weak, hungry...those huddled masses yearning to breathe free. But only if it keeps the price of gas low and we all can get 50 rolls of toilet paper at Costco.
The spirit of this nation is killed by greed and the displacement of values. Hoarding wealth is the effort of a person of weak will and low self esteem. Helping others have a better quality of life starts with a person's health.....not wealth.

I live in norway and pay tax here. normally you have 36% tax of whatever you make, if you make more than 490.000 NOK you pay top tax, which is about 50%.
you can write some of it off on your return, but its still a jack move out of proportions

Our wages here are alot higher than is the US though, and everything here is damned expensive, regardless of what is it.

the goverment owns alot of companys, and private ownership is looked down on.

the goverment here also has heavy taxations on everyting especially cars.

we have about 11 different tax on vehicles, one of them is simply a car is a luxury item, and should be taxed since its the wealthy that can drive them.

now its about 5 to 600 dollars a year to drive A car. Too bad if you have moren than one.

example, if you want to buy liquour anywhere, you have to get in from somewhere called VIN MONOPOLET, which is goverment owned and is only open certain places and certain times, it normally 15:00 in the afternoon,when normal people is at work.

our health care is horrible, doctors are no good here trust me.

they overlook very important things, all of it goes in the newspapers, but everyone knows it so it not like its an outrage when a doctor sends home a child with an appendix about to burst you know.

I love the good ol USA. I think this country for the most part is just fine. There will never be perfection. People bitch too much about whats wrong and dont often enough look at what is right.

The health care system is flawed without a doubt. But it is better than any other health care system in the world. It needs to be fixed, but there is no reason for us to model our system after another country. I think it would be great fo the government to bitch slap the insurance companies and make them treat people right, but there is no reason for them to take control of the insurance. Same thing goes for the pharmacy companies.

ps... I serve in the military and i dont think that it is over funded at all.
