Many of us consider ensuring the survival of our nation and civilization in general a valid expenditure, but thanks for your input.
Because socialized medicine results in shitty care for most people, and a flourishing black market health care system that the priveleged of society (politburo members) use
No thanks. We should go back to system where one person takes care of kids. Trusting the rearing of children between 0-5 to disinterested third parties, borders on neglect.
It will not always be cheaper. Eventually global wages will stabilize, but it may take a while. Cutting the third world out of modernity, for our own comfort, is evil incarnate
you have a negative view of life. I thought libs were supposed to be positive. You need people to be afraid to control them with your promises of income redistribution. It's sick.
We do lead by example and we only use force when either 1) we are forced to or 2) The Eurowimps call us needing our help.Originally posted by MrMarbles
Still why not make America the best it can be, then lead by example, instead of force.

Shitty? Our system has problems, yes. But our care is up to par, I have never waited long or had any problems with it. Our system tends to be admired and copyes around the world, except for the States.

Everyone who chooses to work with youth do it because they enjoy it, it takes a certain quality to do it.

Babies should be cared for by there own parents until they are mature enough, but it is rarely the case. I was talking more about youth though. Youth who if kept in a good surrounding will have the chance to succeed.

It is the truth that small and larger businesses employ and create most of the jobs and economic growth, there isn't a governement on the planet that can compete with that, this is why Communism has failed miserably everytime it is tried. There is no substitute for self reliance, and motivation of survival!

When it comes to the youth, i'm taking about pre-teens and teens, not babies. Porgrams for youth include, sports, hockey, baseball etc, art, music, painting, etc. Not the intial upbringing, but things that will help in there development. Are you against funding sports? Or arts for kids?
Your right, but what does this have to do with Liberals? A liberal gov't is still a capitalist gov't. It just provides for people better by striving for equality.

The other side of the coin which you ignore is that socialist economies grind to a halt as innovations in servicing market needs (human needs) are disincentivized through conficatory tax rates. The economy slowly comes to a halt as new investment, innovation, construction, and hiring simply cease to occur. While morally corrupted environmentalists, bent on genocide against humanity, don't see this as a negative, normal people do.

As for our health system, people do got to the states sometimes for treatment, but it's usually in order to get treatment they can't because they live in a rural area, and it is closer to the States then a canadain site, but it is paid for by our gov't.

Well I don't much about the structure or underpinnings of Canada's Governement, but in the USA the founders never intended the government to be everyone's safety net. It was set up to provide a military against enemies foreign and domestic, to provide infrastructure for commerce to develop and to provide a very limited amount of law and order mostly to be determined by the states, and finally freedom OF religion. Waht it has become is a giant give away program funded by those who work, for anyone who is too lazy to actually work . While I agree there is a very small group of people that need that safety net, most that take from it do not. So you have too many people in the wagon and not enough people to drive the wagon. This creates an undeniable atmosphere of disincentive for a those who take, and more importantly to those who are tired of towing not only their load but everyone else's burdens, hence the collapse of capitolism. In this country there are two types of liberals.The first genuinely cares about the needy but just has the misguided notion about what to do about it.....The second which encompasses a large part of the New Democrats running the show right now knows full well the problems of socialism, but are driven by the need for power, they get this power by increasing their consitituancy of dependant people.
And most importantly this faction of the left uses the ol tug at the heart strings of the first group to keep everyone in step with the program. So really Socialism, is just Communism light, and the Liberals are the ones driving the whole thing.

That's a nice thought, and I do agree with you, but there are a lot of dead beat parents out there. Now I know this isn't your fault, but there are other avenues to take with funding for these kids.
There is a lot of community support in the area I live in. Many local business donate money to help a lot of these kids take part in activities (hocky, gymnatics ect) becasue their parents are drug addicts, alcoholics or won't work. I think this is better than the government paying, and the kids are able to take part in something they other wise wouldn't.

rtwngAvngr said:This is a textbook strawman argument. No one here is arguing for completely unregulated markets. do you consider yourself logical? Why then do you ignore the reality that socialism destroys lives?
