Basically the same people who today benefit from roads, the military, the CDC, the police etc. I think that "all" question is pretty important. You think as I do, and as Amazon did ("all Americans" I have to assume that means 'citizens') before her unrelated tangent. But does our idea of 'all' match what the policy makers are thinking? Still doesn't answer the other point about the government being just as corrupt or more so than any major corporation out there and abusing this proposed system too. ...

Nice thing about government representatives that is _not_ true of corporate execs is that we can replace them if we so choose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And that is an UGLY ASSumption. I do not exclude any american citizens... period. Basic health care for all ... period. IF you are capable of paying for more.. then fine do so.. and that is allowed as well. What he have now is PROVEN to not work.. and you and other conservatives are so fucking afraid that there just might be a better solution that you fight tooth and nail and outright lies.. to preclude any changes for the better.

funjumper101 15 #31 April 22, 2009 Come on, righties. You have here a stellar example of the results of conservative policies. The reulatory agencies that should be able to correct the behavior of AIG can't, due to the lack or regulatory and enforcement power. That power was taken away via the practical exercise of conservative philosophy. Your stuff WORKS!! In other words, here is what you get, when you folks get what you think you want. Do the actual results of successful application of conservative policies make you proud to be conservative? Why not? Come on, step up and take credit. It is what you believe in, isn't it? Whassamatterforyou? Feeling a bit shameful? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
