Flyer reveals Barack Obama headlined socialist event in 1996

[Chris]

Socialism works great.

The police department is socialist.

The fire department is socialist.

Public schools and universities are socialist.

Credit unions are socialist.

The U.S. military is socialist.

Social Security is socialist and has worked well for 76 years.

Medicare is socialist and is keeping my father alive.

The happiest place on earth is socialist....

For the past decade, social scientists and pollsters have given elaborate questionnaires to hundreds of thousands of people around the globe. Two of the largest studies that rank the happiness of countries around the world are the World Map of Happiness from the University of Leiscester and the World Database of Happiness from Ruut Veenhoven of Erasmus University Rotterdam. All the happiness surveys ask people basically the same question: How happy are you?

"The answer you get is not only how they feel right now, but also how they feel about their entire life," explained Dan Buettner, who has studied happiness and longevity around the world through his Blue Zones project Buettner said that if you mine all the databases of universities and research centers, you'll find that the happiest place on earth is ? Denmark. Cold, dreary, unspectacular Denmark.

Could the Danes really be the happiest people in the world? When ABC News anchor Bill Weir traveled there to find out, he asked random Danes to rate themselves in terms of happiness, on a scale of one to 10. Many people rated themselves at least an eight, and there were several nines and 10s. Finally, one grouchy Dane came along who said she didn't believe Danes were so happy. But then she quickly conceded that she herself felt rather content with her life, and said Danes in general had very little to complain about.
Danes do have one potential complaint: high taxes. The happiest people in the world pay some of the highest taxes in the world -- between 50 percent and 70 percent of their incomes. In exchange, the government covers all health care and education, and spends more on children and the elderly than any country in the world per capita. With just 5.5 million people, the system is efficient, and people feel "tryghed" -- the Danish word for "tucked in" -- like a snug child.
Those high taxes have another effect. Since a banker can end up taking home as much money as an artist, people don't chose careers based on income or status. "They have this thing called 'Jante-lov,' which essentially says, 'You're no better then anybody else,'" said Buettner. "A garbage man can live in a middle-class neighborhood and hold his head high."

you really think people buy that?

 

[Dr.Drock]

So your answer is....our system was perfect before Obamacare? Seems to me that's what you're saying.

Actually I'm saying the exact opposite. With or without Obamacare gov't is WAY too involved in healthcare. 50% of healthcare dollars are spent by gov't, that's madness.

So if our system wasn't perfect before, what is the answer? Just spell it out for me. What do we do. Resist the urge to once again let me know what we shouldn't do.

And how much of that 50% that is spent is on seniors and the poor who can't afford the cost of private insurance. Under your plan what happens to those people?

All your questions have built in that I HAVE to say gov't has a role in insurance. If I say they should have no role, you pretend that's not a solution.

It's not my plan, it's simply returning to the plan everyone had before the scam of gov't involvement in healthcare started.

Most socialist countries are doing very well and the standard of living is higher than it is here.

Especially Greece. Oh, and Spain, Italy and France....

People actually like having a steady job, medical insurance, paid vacations and even paid maternity/paternity leave. No one forced this form of government down their throats. People actually like it.

And it works so well.

{Parliament backed drastic cuts in wages, pensions and jobs on Sunday as the price of a 130-billion-euro ($172 billion) bailout by the European Union and International Monetary Fund, as running battles between police and rioters in central Athens outside parliament drove home a sense of deepening crisis.

Firefighters on Monday doused the smouldering remains of cinemas, shops and banks set ablaze in the capital. It was the worst violence in years, and spread from Athens to Greece's second city of Thessaloniki and the islands of Crete and Corfu.

Euro zone finance ministers meet on Wednesday.}

It's only here that the rich have brainwashed the gullible into voting against their own best interest.

Paradise - according to Chris...

I was wondering if stupidity of that level caused him physical pain?

So why don't people just move there and become garbage men, rather than forcing their garbage on the rest of us who 'd rather put it out to the curb?

[BlindBoo]

and they slip into blind bubble mode.


They cant face that their desired policy would result in children bleeding to death in the street so they just pretend they dont see the facts anymore.

There is a law that requires a bleeding child to be treated in every emergency room in the US for free.

That is a fact that you seem to ignore with your sanctimonious bullshit.

Wrong. If the childs parents can't pay for the emergency room visit we the taxpayers pick up the tab.

 

[RDD_1210]

That's right.

Only if they want to drive it.

No one has to buy insurance to drive a car on public roads.

Just like no one has to buy health insurance.

No I don't. Tell me what your solution is that doesn't involve government. Ya know...like I asked above already that you ignored.

It's not my plan, it's simply returning to the plan everyone had before the scam of gov't involvement in healthcare started.

So we're back to square one and the fact that you don't have all (or much of any) of the answers or a plan. You don't know what would happen to seniors or the poor under your "plan" or countless other scenarios that you just have no answer for.

Let me know when you're ready to be an adult and discuss the very real situation that you want to pretend that doesn't exist and think will somehow be solved by fairy dust and talking points.

 

[Dot Com]

We tried to warn people of how radical Obama was..

And he is now trying to shove his radical "visions" on us..

he needs to go folks

lol steph.

Those are socialist countries?

Looks like someone doesn't understand the meaning of socialism.

We'll just chalk this up to another case of someone who likes to make things up as you go along. Weeeeee!

 

[BDBoop]

That's right.

Only if they want to drive it.

No one has to buy insurance to drive a car on public roads.

What country are you from?

 

[RDD_1210]

What country are you from?

He's trying to play a game of semantics. It's what they do when they have no other argument to make.

Oh, I know he is. And I know he's a troll. I'm just trying to find the alleged logic inherent to his argument.

Let the private industry handle private insurance, that's all that needs said.

Private companies, private charities, civilians, not gov't.

So how will seniors and the poor, never mind a struggling middle class be able to afford and purchase this private insurance?
