No offense taken. I'm watching something right now and about to sleep after I finish it, so I'll edit this post later if I see fit. For now I wanted to let you know that everyone is entitled to their ideals. I may not agree with what yours are, but I do respect your decision to lash out at me to voice them.

Glad you foresaw this outcome.
Adramelech Wrote:Secondly. Taxes.. sorry to BURST your bubble but they DO need to be raised . in the U.S you barley pay any taxes compared to other countries. In Israel( my current country of residence ( I'm an american ) ) income tax is nearly double but guess what. theres free universal healthcare and theres no waiting. no nothing. no ifs,buts or maybes
but thats nothing special. EVERY first world nation has this. idealy the top 10% of citizens ( by income ) should be taxed 90% of their wealth. it creates a middle class thats stable and helps iliminate povery and homelessness.
I know very well Americans pay jack squat in taxes compared to other countries. If it was just additional charges added to my goods, I would still complain, but at least I can still live my life the way I do. This bill makes it so I have to get this health care crap that I don't feel I need. On top of that, I'm forced to pay for shit that won't really benefit me and receive some sort of fine or something if I don't. I'll re-read this later to make sure I'm remembering that correctly, it's vague in my head now (bad memory at work).
Adramelech Wrote:I can't see why you would oppose to socialized healthcare. its not like YOU are the only one paying for this all by yourself. you don't even pay that much more money in taxes then you do now.
But it's still me paying extra money for the good of some person I'll never meet. No, sorry, I don't want to be forced to donate money. I wouldn't care as much if it went to schools or some crap, that kinda stuff is where my tax money is already mostly used for.
Adramelech Wrote:Also. to suggest that everyone who can't offord it can't because of their own faults is ludacris. Povery is a cycle created by many factors. its sad to say but majority of people will have the same living standards (class) as their parrents.
If you want be to point out why i'll be more than happy to.
Well, that's kinda the was America has been since it was founded. Some people are born with golden spoons in their mouths, some are born in some poor and crappy village somewhere in the outskirts of Africa. We can't all win at the game of life, now can we? May not be fair, but that's how life is. You can try to take a step closer to fixing this problem, but it will still exist in some form or another.
