As long as private health care is still an option?

It's not like the U.S. can't afford it. We still spend more per capita on health than any other Western nation while we have the biggest economy too. Why can't we look at France (who has arguably the best healthcare in Europe) and improve on it and make it our own? Even Cuba has a higher world-wide quality of healthcare than we do...it's Cuba! I think America can do it.

So what is so wrong with it, ideologically or morally? How can you tell a child that he/she doesn't deserve health care because you think that is a socialistic program and better luck next time?

Ever see her crane her neck to the side and her eyes bulge in a wierd way......creepy.
If she cut her hair short would she fit the role of the upcoming movie?

Maybe it is the word "other" that makes you think anything flies here or other categories do not yield the same attention! Anyway i believe the word "other" should be removed in order to keep "focus" on politics & government which already has its fair share of disillusionment!

I hear all the time, that the "rich" should pay their "fair share" of taxes. But nobody who says this ever clarifies what "rich" is. For that matter, what is a "fair" share? Insofar as income goes, our tax code is progressive, not regressive (sales taxes for the most part are regressive)

For some perspective, here are some figures from the IRS (recent tax year).

Top 20% (those above $75k AGI) pay 72% of income taxes and have 62% of income.
Top 11% (those above $100k AGI) pay 61% of income taxes and have 49% of income.

Tax Breaks - Yes, there are quite a few strange tax breaks that benefit some special interests. But, the most common tax breaks apply to the vast majority of income earners. Yet, those phase out quickly once you get above certain income levels -- Examples: Itemized Deductions, Child and Educational Tax Credits, Exemptions/deductions for dependents.

It's been destroyed by terrorists.
Now the two Twin Towers, very valuable buildings that no longer exist, will eventually become a Memorial Garden or something of the sort.
But what happened to all the employees in the WTC?
Have they been located?
What about the important files and information that have been destroyed in the two towers?

Thanks for your help.

It seems that foreign countries are often generalized as having little, or at least less freedoms as USA. Where does such a perception stem from, and is it even true?
And if it is, give an example of a "Free-er" country...

Why isn't it popular practice in Europe to gloat how free one is compared to the rest of the world?

Read the following, then answer. If you still are ignorant enough to think the UN is NOT biased against Israel, tell me why.
