I would love to more split up the states. Say, have a Michigan social security and medicare system. And you have your Kentucky system. You get what you paid in. So as a guy who has paid in $30-$100K for 30 years, I should expect a pretty good retirement.
If you look at the politicians, all they have to do is win election twice and they get a $80K pension. They would need to cut down on those generous pensions to people who only served 8 years to make it work but of course Michigan will buy into Obamacare so old people won't move to low tax red states because the social services are shit.
I just saw that most people in rural America don't have access to even a close pharmacy let alone a doctor. And a lot of people in red states are trying to figure out how to get around their ignorant republicans leaders who refuse to buy in to Obamacare. It's been how many years now?
I am a 10 as far as my love for this country. Where else could an immigrant like my father move to and find work at a unionized company like Ford Motor Company? A company that paid him a fair wage and pension. And a country where college is affordable so his son, one generation American can get accepted to a top school and get his masters and then rise the corporate ladder all the way to VP of a fortune 500 company. Who makes $1 million a year.
What other country could a person move to where that could happen?
The problem with America today is there are no good paying Ford jobs. It's walmart now. And college is unaffordable for the masses. That's why Republicans say don't go to college. Become a plumber.
