But That's None Of My Business

Quote from Bill Maher, of course.

OK. If YOU pay for MY healthcare, I'll go ahead and do that.

That's exactly what the Nordic countries have done. It's what the United States did in the 1950s. It's back when you could work two years to buy a decent house.
It's called socialism.
Bernie Sanders 2016.

Wow, I totally didn't see that one coming

People laugh at Canada, but we got free health care. Everybody. It aint so bad.

Unfortunately, the USA, the greatest country on earth, doesn't. And some of us deny climate change. Half of us think the earth is 6,000 years old.

Climate change?

See, republicans accepted climate change:

But then the Koch brothers were putting money in their pockets, so suddenly they denied it.

Why is this the hottest winter on record than?

*one of the

Than what?

oops my bad :)

Why was it so cold earlier in the year? Maybe the sun got confused.

It depends on where you were. But this is one of the warmest winters on record. The point is republicans don't deny that the climate is CHANGING. They just deny that it's being caused by humans.

Don't believe the media that most Christians believe the world was created in 4004 B.C. It's not an issue to most whom I know. Sounds bad, though. I upvoted several of your comments, btw

Spent about three years in Canada. They fixed my finger for free, and I didn't hear a lot of complaints about health care. Everybody is covered, like in a 1st world country...

Absolutly. I've had two major surgeries, one in Canada and one in Rochester Minnisota. Canada even paid for that one. I got a bill from them once, they just sent it to the wrong address, $140k. Thank you Canada. We do however havta pay for elective surgeries. Why were you in Canada? And did you like it?

Well...I was in Regina...so that might give you a clue how much I liked it. Let's not as much as what I saw of Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Abbotsford, Victoria & almost anywhere else. I went to a bible college there, which is where I was taught about different interpretations of creation.

"Let's say not as much"

Awesome! Regina....well sorry bout that, we cant do much about them. Saskatoon is newer nicer n younger people. I grew up in Van. n spent time in Toronto. I do reno work for Providence college here in Manitoba, thats a real popular theological school I hear.

We love Vancouver & Victoria which we've not been to in a while. Really want to see Banff after I retire. And my ancestors had a farm right on the border of NY and Ontario, near the Great Lakes. I do not know that school, though. I have almost no contact with my Canadian friends...just a tiny contact on Facebook.

Yeah Banff is a real treat. A little more populated than when I used to go there as a kid, but is the jewel in Canadas crown. Jasper too, I go there atleast once a year.

If we simply taxed the rich by 90%, i would gladly save your life by paying a very small amount

So people should be penalized for being successful?

While others are working 48 hours a week and STILL living in poverty?

Define poverty.

When one is working more than anyone should have to and still not making enough money to retire.

As an oldish person who just looked at possibly not being able to work for a decent wage... How the hell are you NOT supposed to save for retirement in case you can't work later? Go on disability & be treated as if you're part of the lazy 47%? I hear so much of that crap from people who are fortunate. So...not having much retirement (when you've worked most of your life) & being unable to save means that you've been lazy by inference and deserve to live with 'just the necessities'? Hell no! Well, we all know an uncle Bob who is the exception because WE KNOW "he's different" and needs disability. I worked my butt off & can't live hardly well on $14,000 per year... AS IF I had not worked hard for decades. Come on! Why do you think the Bern is doing so well? People want a decent chance when the rich greatly profit on our work. So who is really taking the risks? The rich, like 'pink slip' Romney? The Republican Party needs to get smart or we will find more & more what socialism is all about. Talked to people in their 30's or 30's about this issue? I have. They're pissed & they work as hard as we did..,although for a few years I thought they felt entitled. That is my tirade, not personal against XenusianSoldier, who as far as I know is 30 years old himself. I am able to work now but it hurts & I have some medical restrictions. I have 2 doctors who told me to retire ASAP. I have never so much as ever been on unemployment or had $1 in food stamps. My employer would still be glad to get rid of me for $14,000 per year although I should be at about 95% in a couple months.

Republicans are clowns, it's incredible that people still believe in conservatism, after it has failed so much. I think that the republicans are just actors.

I think they have too much inertia to stay as relevant in politics over the next 30 years. Romney, now Trump, really hit my buttons. Both out of touch. I have very much switched my politics, especially since dubya. I have to for Hillary or the Bern...and I used to despise Hillary. I just am able to look around more since I dropped cable TV and know how my son has been treated by employers...and how abusive mine are around the country. Not saying who yet.

It's amazing tgat young kids like you are sucked into the "We will make everything free!" propoganda. Do you honestly think rich people will stay here to get taxed? When Bernie is elected the stocks will crash, I promise you.

When it's taxed that won't make it free. Trust me, rich people didn't get rich magically. They have companies. Do you know what tariffs are?

great, now where would the rich people move? They won't be able to store their money in Bermuda if Sanders gets elected.

Tariffs are regulatory taxes placed on imported goods, often higher than taxes placed on the same goods that are produced locally, so as not to allow foreign markets to harm ours.

I thought poverty was more like doing without necessities.

For being TOO successful. Who the hell needs over 1 billion dollars?

And who decides what too successful is?

Too successful is when your money is sitting around. Not putting it to good use. While others are struggling. This country has too many billionaires and millionaires.

I think they should give charitably, but I don't think the government should decide how much they should give.

Maybe, but not all of them do. They just give it to their children like Donald Trump or George Bush or Paris Hilton.

I'd have to look up their charities and such. That could take some time.
