Ron Paul on Healthcare and Foreign Policy

[fonkymaster]

HR 3200 was a good bill.

The one we ended up with, he is right on. It solved little, and caused a few more problems.

[ReduceGHGs]

@FutebolBrasileiro Ron Paul has a big hole in his reasoning. I've heard him talking about global warming of a couple occasions. His is NOT consistent on this issue. Basically he's a skeptic and has stated that he thinks it's a property rights issue. First of all the science is solid and we have no need for another leader that reject's it. Second, our property rights can't address emissions as most are legal let alone the fact that the problem is global. BIG hole RP!

[paul4pres08]

Always great and enlightening to listen to a true Statesman. One of the few people that actually serves We the People and always worth listening to. I truly hope to see our Constitution utilized once again in my lifetime, but who knows...

[PeacefulParadox]

RP is a freekin MD for God's sake, listen to him people.

[timefordifference]

Make them accountable when you defy the will of the people it is like spitting their faces! The people have a voice and it should be heard or shall there be hell to pay! This violates the basic principles in which our country was formed. What else will they defy our will on? Vote them out in 2010 and in 2012.

[BlameRepublicans]

Ron Paul is George Bush. Rich old out of touch greedy republican. His cult of personality is compromised of greedy idiots easily fooled with a few catch phrases.

Hey Paul - if you're not Bush - prove it and leave the party.  Riding the fence like you do doesn't inspire any trust from real Americans.

[Princeamor]

@BlameRepublicans Stop your false flag propaganda

[YoDudeRock]

@BlameRepublicans You have no idea what you're talking about, I promise.

[Intervene]

Ron Paul!! Champion.

[dkkght46]

H.R. 3590 gives the federal government specific access to individual bank accounts and medical records as provided by that individuals health plan. The government may monitor an individuals finances and medical records electronically. America, whats in your wallet?

[damndude143]

5 mins in says it all.......... My God whats wrong with people??? why dont they get it?? Why isnt he in office??

[tbed63]

RP is the only politician in Washington who makes any sense at ALL!

[guest2424]

Sounds exactly like the War On Drugs problem. "let's keep doing the same thing, more laws, more cops, more enforcement, more users, more problems." Rather than more rights.

[britzman1]

Texas seemed to both hoard the most insane and the most down-to-earth (ron paul) politicians in this country.

[iloqin]

I love how he just speaks exactly how he feels. This isn't a prompt, this isn't read off a screen or made up. He says what he feels and gives logical reasoning. Palin doesn't. If anyone is going to save our country, it's people like Ron Paul, and a handful of others trying to change popular vote.

[mpnobi12345]

I agree, I only wish he could gain a hold in some major media outlet that would promote him besides youtube - need the votes.

[extrmmxer]

genius. thank you President Paul

[marniespeaks]

didn't the government take the land from native Americans?

should we give all that back?

[Luigi84289]

@marniespeaks that is irrelevant regardless of skin color we are all natives now. Any people of any race have the natural right to form there own nation if that is what they want. What we call Native Americans want areas for themselves because of events that unfolded hundreds of years ago. And they should have them.

[marniespeaks]

@Luigi84289

get a history book

they were cheated

now it's your turn

[Luigi84289]

@marniespeaks sure they were. Do you think the government would have taken no for an answer? Not fromt the atrocities I have read about. It appears from the ignorance of your comment that I have read much more history than you. If all you have to rely on is public school or college history you don't know a fraction of it.

[marniespeaks]

@Luigi84289

you just contradicted yourself

read a book

[Luigi84289]

@marniespeaks where? College and public schools are affected by Teacher's Unions. Which is the Government's tool to insure that students are properly indoctrinated to accept their own state's viewpoint. Distorted and embellished to make itself look good. I'm not saying the state is bad but we need unbiased real information.

[marniespeaks]

@Luigi84289

read what you said about Native Americans and we are all Native now

[1st300bp]

@marniespeaks

yes, you should...

[myHome109]

Karate Kid, do you still like the healthcare and pension debt?

I'm middle aged and will be dead. If you are Karate Kid, you have 60 years of this debt still to pay for each and every year.

Hope you love it so much you can stomoch paying for it every month every year for the rest of your life.

Buy the way Obama is investing your SS trust in Treasury. Treasury interest is paid for by your future taxes! Therefore you will be double taxed on that PONSI Scam!

[myHome109]

KarateKid, The $5 Trillion refiancing is on going the Federal government have been issuing Treasury bond every week since the beginning of the year. Every state have been tapping the bond market with build America Bonds.

With every build America bond the cash is pulled from Business line of credit and the businesses have to layoff or cannot hire! NO CASH AVAILABLE! Government horded all of it to pay for interest due on debt issued!

[myHome109]

KarateKid,

Do you know why there are no part time jobs for high school grads or college students?

Obama is borrowing all the money to kick the interest payment down the future.

According to GAO gov the fed has to refinance $5 Trillion in debt this year! That's equal to all the stock on the Canadian Exchange at full face value.

That's why there is no cash for the banks to loan to small businesses or student loan or house refinancing!

Do you still like the cost of the healthcare?

[myHome109]

The reason I added 5% on top of the $500K is because Congress has "NEVER" paid the principle on it loans for 20-30 yrs. "NEVER" that means the 2.5% interest gets recompounded year after year after year!!

Do you still like the government to take that money from your socialistic pay check and is the plan still worth all the money?

[myHome109]

Karatekid, let's practice a little socialist ideals with your pay check and see if you even know how to do the math.

Please tell us what is the monthly payment on $500,000 debt at 5% interest for 30 years?

On top of that add $24,000 per year interest payment on the debt or $2000 per month forever.

Do you still like paying for that healthcare plan?

[myHome109]

Karatekid,

Please learn to read go to CBO gov, GAO gov, OCC treas gov.

Healthcare debt >$50 Trillion

Annual Int Pmt > $2.5 Trillion

Obama Saving $14 Billion ($140 Billion over 10 yrs)

Last wk excessive gov spending raised the Int 0.25% (1/4 of 1%) and vaporized 10 years of Obama Save.

$50 Trillion x 0.25% = $125 Billion per yr.

Who cares what it covers it's too expensive! Per house hold $500K debt, $24,000 per yr int. 

Please learn to read and do math.

[sigmaluco]

agree with the conservative point of view. The government is there to protect our rights, not give us any material thing.

[daantje757]

Ron Paul understands that the only true form of liberty is a market anarchy (i.e. anarcho-capitalism), which is the best road towards peace and prosperity.

And he's the only one who entered the corrupt world of politicians to work towards that goal.

[phillipstr07]

The first minute of this clip earned it 5 stars

[boratilike]

amazing.. democracy sucks..cuz majority of the people who vote are not intelligent enough to choose the right people in power....its bell curve scenario...you'll always have more stupid people then smart...so they will always elect the wrong people for governemnt

[KarateKidX]

First off, don't get me wrong, I don't like the healthcare bill. But I'm losing respect for Ron Paul over his criticism over the bill.

The reason is, that the healthcare bill isn't the government providing healthcare. It's the government setting laws for how insurance companies do business.

If you want to criticize the healthcare bill, you can at least learn what it actually is.

[FarangBalls]

It is the government forcing you to purchase a service. Also you have to purchase the service from companies that THEY deem appropriate. Maybe they will put a fantastic company like AIG in charge..

[KarateKidX]

@FarangBalls

Quote from the healthcare bill

"Nothing in this Act shall be construed to prohibit a group health plan or

health insurance issuer from using medical management

practices so long as such management practices are based

on valid medical evidence and are relevant to the patient

whose medical treatment is under review"

[Visc0us1488]

@KarateKidX Why dont you learn what the bill entales. The bill regulates individuals freedom. It regulates the companies with out regard to personal choice. The government with out saying why or reason. Can pull you from a plan that they approve but can change their mind to suit their needs at any time.

So again. Why dont you go and learn something instead of watching t.v. to get your information, and do some real research.

[KarateKidX]

@Visc0us1488

Why dont you learn what the bill entales? I did. I said I don't like the bill. I was pointing out that Ron Paul himself(and you apparently) just made assumptions about what the bill did without actually checking.

You seem to think that the bill pays for everyone's insurance in full, and facilitates some insurance plan in any way; Both of which the bill DOES NOT do.

when you AssUMe you make an Ass of U and Me

[spongah]

I still love ron paul

[kristofferdub]

Ron Paul is one of the wisest politicians today. He deserves more camera time. Listen up people!

Ron Paul in 2012!

[funnyguise]

@kristofferdub Speak up, people!!!

[snorkymn]

It's a sad state of affairs that the Russian Times is about the only honest news reporting media out there right now.

"Government can do something for the people only in proportion as it can do something to the people." - Thomas Jefferson

[Fidokrab]

Fixing the broken system we have now won't be as effective as replacing it with a new system.

[RileyE104]

Do you not get that replacing the system we're under now with a new one IS the plan? Whoever is in control of our government has been trying to tear this system that we live under down ever since Brenton Woods broke down (probably long before too).

The goal is to put us under a Global system.

All this talk about "fixing" the system is just a bunch of stalling. If we don't get someone like Ron Paul elected in 2012 then this country is screwed.

[myHome109]

The proper way to approach this lawsuit is from property rights and fiancial fraud.

Those laws are very strong in this country and the peoples rights have been abridged by Legislative and Executive branch of government; therefore we must see representation and adjudication from the Judicial Branch.

[myHome109]

This is how we do it peacefully, challenge the legal and fiscal fraud commited against children!

[myHome109]

The children's constitutional rights have been abridged with corrosive debt obligations and future taxes without representation.

The children's property have been taken for redistribution without just compensation.

The public have been defrauded with the sales of debt instuments (treasury bond) without properly meeting the requirements of Sarbanes Oxley, GAAP and SEC rules.

I want representation and adjudication!

[myHome109]

Every Attorney General of every state and Federal Attoney General swore an oath to defend and uphold the constitution of USA. They are sworn to defend the peoples rights, before the supreme court of the nation when the Legislative and Executive branch of the government fail to uphold our rights!

The Attorney General belong to the Judicial branch and do not represent Legislative or Executive branch, they represent the people and defend our constitutional rights!

[myHome109]

My understanding of why we have three(3) branches of government. When Legislative and Executive branches of the government fail to uphold the constitutional rights of the people, the people can request representation and adjudication from the judicial branch of government.

Taxation without representation for unborn with corrosive debt and future interest payment.

Taking of property without just compensation.

Fraudulent disclosure in sales of treasury bonds!

[myHome109]

Remember Congress and WH authorize the sale of treasury bond to the open market and therefor the public has the right to know what if the financial status of what they are selling.

These are the same require we place on public companies and banks to prevent fraud!

Congress and WH should show leadership and disclose the same financial information and perform to the same accounting standards.

Congress, WH meet Sarbanes Oxley, GAAP and SEC rules!

[myHome109]

Please ask your Senator and House Rep these questions:

1) If an officer of a public company voice the same fiscal irresponsible projection as Congress and the White House summited to the public to sell bonds, would that person be commiting a financial fraud?

2) What is the jail time for commiting such fraudulent act of accounting fraud and misrepresentation?

Require Congress and WH to meet Sarbanes Oxley, GAAP accounting and SEC discloser rules.

[myHome109]

Please read and do the math.

GAO gov, CBO gov, OCC treas gov

They all project the same numbers I submitted for your review.

Either all these institutions are wrong or Congress and WH is committing financial fraud against the children and unborn!

[myHome109]

To All, Please read and do the math.

Healthcare Debt >$50 Trillion

Annual Int Pmt 2%> $2.5 Trillion

Obama Savings $14 Billion/yr ($140 Billion over 10 yrs)

One wk of Congress and WH excess spending increased the Int 0.25% (1/4 of 1%) and wiped out 10 yrs of Obama savings.

$50 Trillion x 0.25% = $125 Billion per yr

Congress and White House, shame on you for dumping your corrosive debt and taxes onto the children and unborn!

They need a representation and voice if taxed.

[Prohumani]

thanks *****

[SteveXnycperformance]

If you are born with a silver/gold spoon in your mouth. You would not understand the reasoning of this man. If we all believe in equal rights but see no hope. Then its time to stand up for equal rights (independent). Man is only equal if he can innovate by himself. The ones that harbor are giving up they rights for privileges(to prevail), and that privileges await all in the welfare state.Man appear to live well in WEL - FARE is the law which control rights of the ones that harbor.

[321lawc]

Ron, how is the world suppose to become modernized if we let Saddam and the taliban stay in control? The Islamic world is full of a billion ignorant savages that want to end western civilization, and have Islam dominate the world. Sometimes you just have to blow the fuckers up.

[Lightfromsirius]

This Health Care has the result that only pharmaceutical products can be used. It is the first step in the implementation of "Codex Alimentarius". You will lose your freedom in a natural food and scientific proven natural remedy. Who pays for the health, determined. These will be big insurance companies. It will be the Super business for the pharmaceutical industry.

[wodahsking]

AWESOMENESS!!

[holidayhouse03]

I know damn good and well that I have a right to own a firearm....where's my govt. subsidy for an AR-15?

[mark7996]

Where is the humane side in that logical 'justification'. 00:34

[bedtechs]

I agree with Ron Paul, but I think that it takes a pretty messed up society to throw people away like garbage because they are sick and cannot afford health care. Even ancient, backwards civilizations took care of their sick and elderly and so does every other industrialized nation. Healthcare should have never been for-profit. Those companies don't care about people, only the bottom line. I didn't see any alternative solutions coming from the GOP either. What's your alternative Dr. Paul?

[handianus]

@bedtechs the only regulation that works for both keeping prices down and getting people health-care is anti-fraud, not throwing around taxes and other crap that most only decreases competition

Taxes and crap regulations affect small companies with little capita the most

If companies fuck around they should get a baton up their ass, that's what works

Fraud should be a matter for the police to handle

[bedtechs]

@handianus

I agree that fraud is an issue and should be treated much like you suggest, but fraud and tort only account for about 5% of expenditure. How can you possibly have a for-profit entity in control of healthcare and not expect them to find any way possible to not pay out. Insurance companies suck!

[handianus]

@bedtechs Sure there will always be some loopholes they will find

But with a free-market they get pressure on them (instead of the opposite: i.e. government legislation making everyone buy stuff from those companies) if they do something customers don't like.

[handianus]

@bedtechs If government stop "taking care" of health-care (and other things) people will have more incentive, more feeling of responsibility, to help each other out with it, and more money to do so

And prices will go down (like plastic surgery where govt isnt involved), if people can shop around, and arent forced to buy insurance or whatever insurance is handed down, etc

Most could then soon afford good insurance or most of their healthcare out of pocket

[handianus]

Rest is up to charity, people do want to help eachother, don't need government to make people better persons there, just need to give them the drive for it, and stop government saying "we've taken care of it already"

[bedtechs]

@handianus

I agree with you that people do want to help each other but charity hasn't been picking up the slack. In ancient tribes everyone would share the burden equally. I think France has it figured out. They have a great system. The Doctors are paid well and everyone receives great care. I can't seem to figure out any other way or find any other example of a system that works as well as theirs.

[handianus]

@bedtechs I can agree that a welfare-state in respect to health-care is better than a corporate-state, but I think you can reach higher.

And why you can't find a better system is because libertarianism hasn't been at power to any major extent (social+economic) or for any long period. Cause it doesn't hand out candy.

[handianus]

@bedtechs And charity only really picks up when government isnt already trying to do what charity tries to do (and does more effectively). Unless its like a major disaster etc.

Theres no incentive for charity if there isn't a good risk people will get hurt if you don't give.

Like here in Sweden cancer/heart-lung disease research gets lots of money, great majority from charity. I don't see why you couldn't reach near the same heights with health-care for people who can't afford it

[mrdoonbeg]

The words, Hitting nail on head springs to mind!

[BrianFellow2007]

Not going to hear that on regular TV.

[tbeezy1]

Americans are still dumb... LOL @ Sarah Palin hijacking the teaparty/libertarian movement.

[Rizky06]

A trade war with China...No more outsourcing to a country who hires for 1/5 what an American worker costs with no concern for environment or benefits. Go For It!

[IKSDoomie]

We did not elect Obama...We elected Barry.....

[IKSDoomie]

@Luigi84289...

I agree and must add that a wage is not only what you described it is also a way for the rich to control the poor. Look at what they do to our wage....tax it and give it to those that do not deserve it.

[Buckeyes1647]

It's pretty sad that a Russian TV network gives more TV time to Ron Paul than US ones do. I'm not bashing RT in any way, they are doing a great job, I just wish that US news outlets would give as good interviews of Ron Paul and similar legislators.

[iamdiaperman]

how the hell was this man not elected?

now america has obama ! what has he ever done ! ?

[IndividualAutonomy]

Ron Paul is in league with the Russians! He would sale our nation to the KGB if the free market allowed it!

[korzym]

Ron Paul 2012!!!!

GIVE ME A WHOOOOOO!!!!!

[mrdoonbeg]

Whoooooooooo

[NewOrleanzSkater]

@korzym WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[holidayhouse03]

WHOOOOOO!!!!!

[smallmaniac]

WHOOOOOO!!!!!

[jtallensk]

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!­!!

[EvilResult]

WOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[LIGHTRONIX]

haha he's going to be as old as dirt, but lets elect him anyways!!!

[ghettoTV1]

no way man

they make billions from us on taxmoney already

his rethoric dont make sense, would u rather spend it on military??

so many poor people cant afford heathcare its basic human need, and u wanna have it if u need it

[DarkAngelGRM]

@ghettoTV1: Rethoric? With a name like your's I thought you would understand better. Health care is only so expensive because the government has their hand in it, then all the sudden rather than let the put their hand in it we decided to let them control it, but they didn't even do that right, we force lower health care costs and we force people to buy health insurance.

What you are going to see is lousy care for those who are on government, and very high premiums for other options.

[DarkAngelGRM]

@ghettoTV1 As for the billions that you speak of, it goes back to paying our national debt, don't forget you can't create wealth. Gov. Programs, as well as fund thousands of government bodies, (FCC, DEA, FBI, IRS...and the rest of the alphabet soup) from nothing, you have to remember this all cost money.

Keep in mind, the US still at war, still trying to police the world while their own country goes down the s**ter.

Most of the time in is in the interest of private wealth whatever it may be.

[DarkAngelGRM]

@ghettoTV1 : So just to say these billions of dollars just goes into wars is a very uneducated assumption.

Surely if the US government worked as it should you would be free to assume such but it is not the case. We have the worlds largest prison populations (Funded By Taxes.)

So to sit here and hear a Canadian from Romania assume that if we don't dump our dollars in health care, the money will goto war that just makes me laugh.

Ron Paul 2012; Help free the United States!!!!!

[ghettoTV1]

@DarkAngelGRM

hey fuck you the US is a worlwide problem

it dont just into war it also goes into the politician's pockets and the bankers they bailout

asshole. should rather be used 4 something useful like healthcare especially poor people who can't afford it

[DarkAngelGRM]

@ghettoTV1 Yet it's not the government that's going to pay for it, it is going to be the population of the US! So you want to rob me, having not influenced the government in anyway, in order to provide health care to poor people, and you find this justifiable?

Also, don't attack me, I don't appreciate the US government anymore than you do, but this new bill that has passed will fix NOTHING and cause more problems.

[DarkAngelGRM]

@ghettoTV1 Furthermore, I live here, I have studied this and I understand this, it is not to provide FREE HEALTH CARE to anyone, it is to force everyone to be on an insurance plan, either by paying a private party or being forced into what will soon be a government insurance plan, and there will be no option, it will either be have insurance or be fined.

How is this going to fix anything?

[DarkAngelGRM]

@ghettoTV1 So before telling me off why don't you take the time to understand what you are talking about, and try not to make shrewd comments on things that are not going to affect you. [Health Care]

By the way, I don't agree with the US being at war, I probably wouldn't agree with any wars past the civil war. It has always been at the interest of money, very agreeable no?

But who can this be accredited to? (cough: money printers.... >.>)

Learn about what you're commenting on...

[TurboDally]

@ghettoTV1 Well I have curiously observed how people oppose spending money on healthcare for Americans, but remain silent about military spending and money spent in areas such as Iraq (although Afganistan could be somewhat justified).

[buckodcelt]

well it stops the vermin from spreading

[troma333]

go smoke, drink, and eat bad foods so we can pay for your healthcare. yea, that makes sense. social medicine is flawed and you will see why in years to come.

[bedtime4bonzo]

healthcare....yes, you "want to have it if you need it", you do not deserve it... military defense is one of the few things the federal government is supposed to achieve, but now we have military offense, which is totally wrong.

[JJAB91]

I would vote for him in 2012 for sure, I agree with almost all of his ideas however I don't agree with him on foreign policy.

[Vorlos]

well, his "just Taliban defending themselves"-talk also surprised me.

The Taliban are a fundamentalist and utmost anti-human regime who dont deserve any pity from anyone.

But hes right with that the Nato isnt there for primarly defeating them. In fact, western intervention just increased radicalisation among muslims around the world.

[321lawc]

@JJAB91 Yeah, me too. The middle east has to be modernized and pulling out only sounds good to people unaware of the situation.

[ghettoTV1]

@321lawc and shooting them, bombing and kiling then will certainly accomplish that

retard

[321lawc]

@ghettoTV1 Well, we did free the Iraqi population from a dictator that terrorized his own people. And Afghanistan can't be allowed to be run by terrorists.

[ghettoTV1]

@321lawc is that what they teach you on Fox? ya american piece a sh$%...

so who should it be ran by, the crooks in the white house?

free the population? by occupying them with the military illegaly, under false evidence, killing more than a million people, not mentioning the embargo and destroying their country?

and check who did 911

[321lawc]

@ghettoTV1 Hahahaha, you really will believe any shit that has the word conspiracy attached to it won't you. Please, go read some actual history. Maybe take a few college courses and don't pretend to have an enlightened opinion without a thourough study of foreign policy.

[zg76]

@JJAB91 agree or not, you'll have to admit there is no money for imperial foreign policy.

[thefakeyeti]

@JJAB91

How do you see any positives comming out of the war in afghanistan and iraq?

[JJAB91]

@thefakeyeti The quelling of terrorism in that area and spread of Democracy?

[shenmueryu]

Wow no other real trolling anymore when people speak out against what this guy sotero is being ordered to do. Even still, this man has been talking about this for ages now and he caught my eye since the bush era. He speaks the truth and speaks it with logic, just amazing that we are still allowing all of this to happen to us.

[Biffo]

Why does the Russian State Sponsored television stage always give such nice interviews to Congressman Ron Paul? Guess all press is good press.

[bedtime4bonzo]

smarter populations actually demand better news, or at least populations that have an interest in listening to current affairs. that's why american news has become so ridiculous, it's like each station is just a non-stop commercial for a political party.

[rrought317]

@Biffo what's your point? Sounds like you're another American Idol voter, voting on emotions, fashion, and whats cool man.

It's a shame you don't vote on idea's or what is true. Just another sheep following the herd.

[Pnkbong]

Ron Paul speaks the truth.

[hpso12xu]

....... usually.

[DaleElder11]

Nice, RT is one of the few places we can go to find the truth. How long before the internet as we know it is gone. Fore our own "security" of course.

[LesiureBoy]

It's plain & simple, our govenment is much to powerful to be making decisions. It's obvious they're highly incapable.

End the WARS!!!

End the CORRUPTIONS!!!

We need to do a complete 360, which is why we NEED Dr. Ron Paul.

Oh, btw, Obama, YOU FAILED!!! Your 30minutes of fame is up, you freakin liar.

You pitched a good sales tactic because we bought into your whole "Change" bullshit.

God, I'm so happy I didn't vote for you, cause you were to good to be true.

Very sad :(

[theVAGINAntichrist]

Raun Pol, I like you.

You're a good guy.

[shakaama]

she could at least put her hair up and look professional, show some respect. :( And she moved around way too much. She's on camera and she bouncing around the frame. The over the shoulder shots were horrible, she looked like cousin IT talking to Dr. Paul. Had she had her hair up you could see her profile.

[Stepper11]

They are counting toothbrushes. Well, that's a trick we know they didn't pick up from the Brits. : )

[Stepper11]

Opps. That belonged in another comments page.

[Icyhefner]

Ron Paul 2012...Wake up America

[boots920]

If the people of the United States don't even know what real money is , I say don't worry about it.

The USA is done well done its been a 100 years of subversion coming from the Central Bank. The American people won't wake up and their going to exist in poverty for the rest of their lives. Its unfixable they counterfeited the country's money supply into oblivion.

[IKSDoomie]

Mattes50A05...

We pay more for meds because of insurance companies.. Have any of you taken a look at what gov health care gets you??????????? Go read about the VA.....

[IKSDoomie]

Maplesyrup41...

The please feel free to send me a check for say around 35,000.00 so I can buy the new Ford that I was looking at this morning. Since you think we should have to pay for everything else. The only people who make out in the health care plan are those that are lazy and the insurance companies. I look forward to you paying for your local illegal mexicans.

[Bigturns33]

must have been the Tauraus i want that one to you send me your 35,000 first.

[Luigi84289]

@IKSDoomie A wage is just a form of labor compensation why would you want to spend yours and give it to somebody else for daily necessities? The more you do for yourself the less you have to work the more [i]freedom[/i] you have why do people think farmers are the first ones to complain when the government implements new plans? They are the most free. The people who have the most to lose.

[zutroy1]

Uhm, no the farmers are not the most free. Not even remotely true.

If anything, farmers are one of the least free. Farmers here in North America as well as in Europe are disgustingly over-subsidized to the point where farming in the rest of the world is almost impossible because of how much tax money we funnel to farmers to artificially lower prices. Because farmers are so massively subsidized, much of what they grow (or do not grow at all) is what they are told to do by the government.

[thefakeyeti]

@Luigi84289

BUT..

The more benefits the government gives you the less you have to work ;)

@thefakeyeti not at all. The more benefits they give you the more they take. (why taxes never go down) And they are the sole arbiter of that function. It's making monopolies on functions that would naturally have unlimited competition and give better results as the supply is always met for the demand and people go to whomever provides the best quality.

Everyone in the world is looking to American citizens right now. Only we can stop this madness. Once we end this they will join and we can actually make the world a better place.

I firmly disagree with ron paul

all the developed countries have universal healthcare and its a fundamental corner stone of a working prosperous society

I am surprised the US is getting it just now

@Maplesyrup41 The problem with socialism is eventually you run out of everyone else's money. Plus America is against BIG government. At least we're supposed to be...

[Bigturns33]

I use to live in the UK where national healthcare is the fundamental cause of the breakdown of that country :).

[shenmueryu]

That's too bad...because the facts are the facts. Now healthcare companies can play with numbers and lower services because everyone has to have this by law...if government made it law everyone needed a car...guess what car companies would end up doing...please think
