What country should the USA base it's way of life and laws on?

I voted for America circa 1900 because slavery was abolished and this time period before 1929 was the best time for America. The average amount of money a person got went up 5% every year.

was great, but had ZERO social programs, handled exclusively by charities....wait a minute...that's how it should be.......

only a small minority wants to be like canada. still unsure why they don't take a bus trip up there and stay, if they like it so much. way, way too much regulation and taxation up there.

I guess, you, like me are Libertarian too, huh? Don't blame the lefteys for wanting to go to Canada. I used to be a lefter too. I don't have a problem with them. Only neo-cons.

oh yeah, its horrible to pay the federal government taxes to pay your medical bills for you. here you dont pay taxes on that, but you pay private ensurers the same amount of money to pay for SOME of your medical bills and you have to pay it if it goes over what the ensurers cove. i rather pay the government and not pay shit myself

*one more thread killed*

Canada and the US are leading. Does that mean that only far right and far left are voting? Or does it mean that the US is almost exactly like Canada?

You're only making it more expensive. You're now paying for illegal immigrants, too, and there's the cost of American bureaucracy...

wrong, ther are things that would not have to be paid for if the government took over said operations, you may be paying more, but not a significant amount

and no, you wouldnt be paying for illegal immigrants because they are not part of the system.

Actually you WOULD be paying for illegal immigrants because earlier this year, Bush made them full citizens. Besides, before ya know it, you'd be paying for abortions too.

No, but why should you pay for them?

Ancient Egypt.

To all the Canadan's (spelling intended) and Canadia (spelling intended) wannabe's...

PLEASE go to Canadia, and give up your evil USian citizenship..!

We don't need your whiney, weenie asses...

No, but why should you pay for them?
... YOUR ALREADY FUCKING PAYING FOR THEM, YOUR PAYING FOR EVERY SHMUCK WITHOUT INSURANCE. ITS CALLED AN INSURANCE COMPANY. ever heard of it?! every damn time some one without coverage has to do something, YOU ARE FUCKING PAYING FOR THEM, and they ARNT PAYING SHIT. the ONLY fucking difference between our bullshit capitalist system of "national coverage" and the socialist ocverage in other countries is that they have FREE health care and other things. we pay INSURANCE companies, and then they pay part of the bill then we pay MORE for the rest of the bill, you idiots dont udnerstand we would pay LESS if we switched to a socialist set up, the rpeublicans dont want to do that because all these big businesses are donating shitloads of money to their campaigns.

god people are gullible if not completely stupid, you know the word "gullible" isn't in the dictionary?

Now that wasn't nice at all. Besides, the US ain't the land of the free anymore. Nowhere is. Nowhere for ME to go.

Hey, why are you quoting me!!! I half way agree with ya!!! I just say pay for yourself. It's your body.

Bump

We take our regulation and taxation seriously. :D

...you still seem to not realise the you are paying for people without insurance if you have insurance. if it becomes a TAX even uninsured people MUST pay and there will be no insurance for medical coverage, rates will be ultimately much cheaper.

do you have a real or at least intelligent argument to counter?

Us libertarians don't agree with ANY taxes. Health care would be affordable to everyone, because with no taxes, you'd have the money you need for healthcare. I do agree that the unemployed should have free health care though.

I belive Canada, Northern Europe are the best examples in the World, and I'd love Portugal (my homeland) to be like them..

Exactly.

Canada + Scandinavia = Awesomenessticity.

Anyone care to tell me why the UK isn't in that list?

I did not put it on list #2 because it will be on #3 which is coming out tonight.

Along with the popular Switzerland,Sweden, and the unpopular Phillipines.

I voted for fine as I, because (like almost every peice of rock the Brits once ruled) the US's legal system is based the English legal system which is a very good and fair system.

Why are you spelling thing wrong on purpose? I'm finding it a little offensive.


and just in case your can't spell those words and don't what people to find out it's Canada , Canadian (Anglo/Saxons and any body who speaks English over French), Canadien (Quebecers).

I would say Switzerland. They enjoy many MORE freedoms that we do in America. I would just get rid of the neutrality bit. The world superpower cannot be uninvolved with the rest of the world.

But would that been possible if every mission needed the approval via a referendum?
There are certain things that doesn´t work outside of Switzerland. Switzerland is remaining their completly neutrality policy also because the population is rejecting changes of it. That are the facts.

Poll #3 is up now.

We DO pay for illegal immigrants. They get benefits easier than American citizens do. Have for years. And the legislature (not just Bush) voted to give the ones here now work Visas, but only if they come forward and register for them. They then become "legal" immigrants, not citizens (yet).

too bad the right wing stick there fingers in there ears and go LALALALALA I CANT HEAR YOU when you try to explain to the realities of national health care system as compared to the insurance health care system

Um, I kinda lean to the right, CH. But I'm also firmly based in reality. I've had family members who worked and paid taxes since their teens have to jump thru ridiculous hoops to get disability benefits, while others who contribute little or nothing to taxes get taken care of with no trouble. It's a crock. If we had a national system, this wouldn't be a problem. I'm also pretty sure the bs lawsuits that contribute to rising health care costs wouldn't happen, because people would actually have to be responsible for their own carelessness if they get burned with hot coffee or some such thing.

Hey, could someone post on Part 3 of these posts? It's on page 2 and I don't want to bump it because I've done that already once today and I hate to do it.
