Socialized Medicine is bad for America!

Yes not EVERYONE on welfare wants to be there. This is true, but the people who CHOOSE not to work, CHOOSE to be on welfare. In answer to your question, No I do not expect children (all persons under 18) to have to work. After all it is not their fault if their parents CHOOSE to be losers in the game of life. Nor should a child whose parents are disabled be forced to work. I never said I do not support help for kids. But the government should not take on the entire obligation either. That is what charities are primarily for. That is also why I choose to donate 10% of my income to organizations who help people who are truly in need. Many people choose NOT to have medical insurance, because it is an option (as of now) and many people think "I am healthy why would I pay for something I don't necessarily need?" Prime example I do not have dental care because (knock on wood) I rarely have dental problems. I am not going to pay weekly on something my body scarcely requires. Nor should someone who does not want to pay for health care on a weekly basis be required to. Affirmative action is politically correct B.S. I believe in the best man for the job. People should not get a job based on color, creed or ethnicity. That has nothing to do with health care why you brought it up I will never know. I stand by the fact that we do not need insurance companies. Back in the 40's and 50's they did not have insurance companies and medical prices were not through the roof. In fact they were dirt cheap. I will not cite that fact. You can figure that one out on your own. Just ask your grandparents or anyone over 65 years of age they will tell you the same thing. You can not compare apples to oranges. Don't try to make a connection to oil out of all of this. That is way off topic. Oil is expensive because we get most of it from the Middle East and many of the places like "CITGO" are run by terrorists who hate America and will jump at any chance to rip us off. Trust me if we drilled Alaska gas would be a heck of a lot cheaper. I also noticed you still do not see ware I was going with this whole perks thing, you said, "Again, the owners of the company does not pay for perks out of his pocket but rather the company does..." This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! I am not talking about wal-mart if I was I wouldn't have used the word entrepreneurs. I am talking about companies like the car ford dealership I work for. Believe me Ford does not pay for my vacation. The owner does out of the goodness in his heart. If he didn't who do you think will? The government sure as heck isn't going to front the cash. One of the biggest problems with socialized medicine is that only the people working legitimate jobs will be taxed. But all those working under the counter do not get taxed but still receive the same treatment even though they did not pay a dime for it. Yes this means even the drug dealers, prostitutes and illegal immigrants get to stand in line in front of you and I (the hard working tax payers) maybe that doesn't seem too bad to have to stand behind Seï¿½or. Not when you realize there are between 15 and 20 million illegal aliens living in the United States to date. I am still waiting on an answer from you on ware do you think the government will draw the line for things we need? Don't we also need food? Don't we need a car and a job etc? is the government going to supply these things too? If Karl Marx has any say in it they will. Taxes will be raised there is no question about it when I said 25% that was a rough conservative guess. It very well could cost more as you pointed out, medical treatment is expensive' right? Now I realize you wouldn't know this yet. At age 17, you probably live at home with your parents or under someone else's care. You don't have to pay the bills and you don't have to work over 40 hours a week. I work between 50 and 60 hours a week If I earned $668.81 then after taxes I will take home $471.22. If I earn $565.00 I take home $399.64. That's $1-$200 a week. I as most people cant afford to live off much if any less money than that especially when you are supporting two people and paying off college bills, rent, car insurance etc. I know for fact, I can not survive off of taxes that Hillary will be proposing which will raise taxes nearly 25% and now your are looking at $3-$400 a week. Which will take me out of the middle class and propel me into the poverty level. Don't try to tell me any differently I know what my personal financial situation is. You do not! I did cite the story of Fido and the MRI it came from "the Washington Post" Unlike you I do not pull all of my information off of the Internet, ware anyone can post anything free of charge. I first read the story in a book. Later I did the non Internet research and found the article (hard copy) for myself. (Personal advice to you… read a book once in a while, it is good for you.) Yes that's book (noun) or (bŏŏk) as in a written or printed work of fiction or non fiction, usually on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers. I am not going to explain this again. Socialism will destroy capitalism. Socialism leads to communism, and communism takes away from the personal liberties we have and our ability to pick our own private way of life. The food we choose to buy and eat, the car we pay for and drive, medical treatment we choose to purchase and all of the other things that we have the liberty to use our capital dollar to buy. That is what capitalism is all about. And communism wants to take that all away from us. Communism will tell you what you are going to eat, what car you will drive, what dr. you will go to. WEATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! I have not met a single person who has ever been denied medical treatment in their life due to a shortage on cash. If you know someone personally I would like to meet them. Not a link to someone else's web site ware thy are going to try to propagandise me. I want to meet them for myself. If a homeless man ran into a hospital today with his leg hacked off bleeding every ware, You can not tell me the hospital wouldn't treat him. If you tell me they would I would tell you you are lying. Yes everyone does have the right to medical treatment, but that doesn't mean the government or anyone else for that matter should have to pay for it. After all my misfortune should not be your responsibility. If it was or if you want it to be the next time I get into a car accident or get a speeding ticket I will give you a call and you will come bail me out right? We need lass government interaction in our personal life. Right now you have the personal freedom to go to any Dr. you want. If we lived in a communist or socialist nation right now George W. Bush would pick your Dr. If that's what you want then go ahead and vote in favor of communism in 08. I choose to vote for freedom so my kids can grow up in a nation of greatness as I did. if you don't like our system move to China, Canada or the UK I guarantee you will be back in a very short manor of time. Once you realise it all comes down to personal responsibility. Go to college, if you don't want to get a job and work your butt off and save every penny you can because thousands on welfare depend on you. But more importantly you and your kids depend on you. Believe me you will do just fine and that goes for all Americans. Someone once told me it is good to end an article or debate with a quote because someone else has already said it best so there is no point in trying to top them so I leave you with these words from Ronald Reagan, "I believe the best welfare system is a job."
