@wjksea : Do you understand know why in Europe we want our free runned state healthcare ? Because in the end, not being a private corporate, you are not see as a number/profit. The thing works just like any private company but desregarding profits. When you americans call it "socialized medicine" you make it seem like a comunist ONG ! :)

@mavsguru41 : How can you compare ? Just so you can have an idea : When I went to university I was working in a Hotel´s front desk and my sallary was 24000€/year (+-30000 dollars) and I went to State university paying 1000€/year at the same time !!! You people are already in deep debt before having a job. Th man here just said that in the USA is 10000 dollars/year a state university. That´s insane.

@mavsguru41 : Do you really think so ? Do you think that paying 20€ or 30€ tax more because of the so called "Euro-crysis" I lost all my benefits ??? My taxes still cover free education, free healthcare, etc ... What do you have after selling your ass to the chinese ? Nothing ...

A frequently annoying thing about YouTube and/or it's posters is in determining the history of a video. When did this particular edition of Democracy Now air?

The one thing that really is annoying about YouTube and or it's posters is the lack of source. When did this particular episode of Democracy Now first air?

@JohnRinNoHo No one will work for free but lousy doctors more concerned with getting rich instead of treating patients may work for the mafia instead.

@TheDukeljk  Roast in hell you narcissistic sociopath.

@AngeloBGC Be watchful…these global bankers and capitalists are introducing you to bigger more powerful non-democratic corporatocracies. Europe has big banks and Siemens isn't just some little small business. It's an amoeba swallowing up smaller businesses, getting bigger and introducing it's corporate teardown of the worker psyche.
