One thing I dont understand is how can a person be a against free medical treatment, even the "american inspired" parites in europe support free medical help.
But I think that Obama should increase the taxes to give the state more income and reduce the debts, why has he not done that?
Let's make one thing perfectly clear, Euro, there is no such thing as "free medical treatment". Not one country has "free medical treatment".
The problem with Obama is that he just wants to raise taxes on the top 5% that are paying 70% of the taxes now. The bottom 47% doesn't pay taxes and a percentage of those get money from our government called "Earned Income Credit".
I don't think that raising taxes will equate with reducing the debt with our government, it will more than likely equate to more spending.
I agree with you that not only the top 5% should get increased taxes, but increased taxes is nescessary to controll the debt.
But why is increasing taxes wrong if you feel that you get something good back from the taxes you pay. I think I get many benefits from the taxes I pay.
Isnt it good to help sick poor people to heal. Or for instance, if you had become sick by a snake bite you would have to pay a 140.000$ medical bill. An average american tax bill i about 26-27k$ a year.
I would definetly chosen to pay a bit more in taxes, lets say 5% that will make an average american tax bill 28-29k$. Instead of risking a snake bite that would give me 140.000$ medical bill.
I would have chosen to a pay bit more in taxes instead of being in debt for a long time because of a snake bite.
It's obvious that you have grown up in a socialist country. In Europe....have you seen how things are becoming more and more unsettled? It's because of their economy, they can't afford all the give aways. The EU is in some serious trouble.
You must think the "average American" is making a hell of a lot of money if you think the average tax is between 26-27 thousand a year.
I can get much better healthcare in a timely manner than that of a state run operation like you enjoy.
Bottom line....and I know you wont be able to understand this but, the "average American" doesn't like the government to put mandates and forcing people to buy something they don't want. I know...that's just crazy
