However, our government still provides billions of dollars to the elderly, disabled, and poor, as they should.
Here is the fundamental difference in what we believe:
You think the gov't should provide everything for the people.
Most people in the US think the gov't should provide the opportunity for those people to go out and get it themselves.
Otherwise, your society turns lazy and unproductive. Just look at the incident in France as a great example of this: There were riots in the streets because employers wanted the power to fire an employee if they weren't doing their job. But noooo, all of the young workers want a guarantee that they can sit on their ass and not be fired for two years. How efficient do you think that business is going to be? and why do you think they have so much trouble finding jobs?
By the way, if you think Nicaraguans are living better than us, you are smoking crack. "hahaha" |
sorry healthcare is a right, not a priviledge.
it should be a basic human right to everyone.
yes, i think doctors can have one less yacht and get a minimum 100,000.00 a year.
one could say sales tax is a means of keeping the rich richer and the poor, poorer.
i never said nicaraguans were living better than us, but i do think because of past U.S. involvement they are living worse off.
again you failed to answer the question
(why did nicaragua re-elect ortega)
...because you do not know what you are talking about
