Has your credit card bill gone down? Medical bills gone down?
Isn't that what the Bushies promised us with their bankruptcy "reform" and tort "reform"?
Or did corporations just get the benefit of these bills?

Maybe not, but when he promises to lower your bills, and then doesn't, I don't think it's out of line to hold him accountable for THAT.

you have a medical bill day in and day out. the government simply relies on your ignorance to pass it off as free.
its similar how the income tax works in America, people are used to their take home pay, the government focuses them on it instead of the theft of their real pay

Yeah and that is why the US government spends more per capita on healthcare than any EU country?

As I recall, Piablemouse is a nurse so he's probably attacking the premise because of the healthcare portion of it. Even though he didn't attack that part it looks to me to be a case of "whose bull is being gored".
Way to miss the point! Divert all you want, the fact remains that in most of the industrialized world, people spend much less on health care, whether through taxes or personal/employer payment, while getting better care and better outcomes. We Americans spend more, get less, and leave millions of people without routine care. It's a pretty sad commentary on the self-proclaimed best country on the planet.Originally posted by: Shivetya

Either way, it's still a hell of a lot more than most people in the world earn. Your problem is you're a pessimist, a glass-is-half-full defeatist. You fixate on the tax withheld (childishly calling it "theft", for crying out loud) instead of recognizing that your fabulous base pay wouldn't be possible without the extraordinary physical, financial, and educational infrastructure funded in large part by that "theft". Your taxes are the dues you pay for living in an industrialized country that gives you the opportunity to earn more than thirty cents an hour. (And the dues in the U.S. are among the lowest of comparable industrialized nations, by the way.)its similar how the income tax works in America, people are used to their take home pay, the government focuses them on it instead of the theft of their real pay

LOL, I'm a nurse, and I make good money, and I work my goddamn ass off too.
