Control The Masses

In the UK publicly funded healthcare has been around long enough that if it actually worked, it should work there, but it doesn't. The same is true for Canada, with the same results. A business associate in Germany said that changing to government healthcare was the wost.

In England it's so bad that “One thing we have noticed recently is people trying to leave the country.”

As Kim said; You know your country is broken when even your illegal immigrants say you suck. At least we're still in good enough shape that they still sneek in.

And it's really interesting that Democrats continue to push for government healthcare. Yeah. Right. As if government can do much of anything efficiently.

The same old leftist thinking. Just because it didn't work, doesn't mean that it won't if we do it harder. Maybe they know it won't work, but want the people more beholden to government. There's an awful lot of evidence supporting the notion that the Democratic party is no longer "for the working man" as my father-in-law insists. The evidence is pointing toward keeping "the working man" and poor in their control.

. . . . the core assumption of the welfare state itself, that individuals are not responsible for themselves or their families and that the state should provide for them instead, is what perpetuates poverty

Like a snow ball rolling down hill, the more they're given, the more they demand, creating more to demand. The perceived widenning gap between the haves and the have nots is in fact created by welfare. The handouts create expanded population of those receiving free goods and services paid for by those that support themselves and the rest of society. If left unchecked, society in general will eventually fail because the productive will become small in comparison to the non-productive.
