Well when you are in the military, everyone who does a certain job, or holds a certain rank I guess would be more accurate, gets paid the same, right ?

A GS pay scale ............right ?

The get a socialized form of health care, without a doubt.

So.................Is the military already socialist, with Obama playing 'catch up' ?

I don't believe you...................

I'm thinkin' you live in your parents basement, and play video games between posting here and surfing porn.

From 2001 to 2007 the top 5% income households increased 9% in wealth while middle income rose 3%. Speaks loud and clear, doesn't it.

Does the truth hurt a little Dew-dew?

so you want to punish them by taxing them more because why? you didnt get any? im sure their wealth increased because of sound investments. it is their money, who cares how much they have or how much it increased? it shouldn't be anybody else's business

Such foul language from the little boy with mommy's computer........

Watch out, after snack time she might start reading what you post, then no more computer for you, or X-Box either.

Which math classes were you skipping in school?

The worst offenders are the corporations however.... stir

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Most U.S. and foreign corporations doing business in the United States avoid paying any federal income taxes, despite trillions of dollars worth of sales, a government study released on Tuesday said.

Health Care

Similarly on health care, the Obama administration can learn from what works in Europe. The World Health Organization (WHO) rates European countries as having the best health care systems in the world, spending, on average, far less than the United States for universal coverage and quality results. France has the top-rated health care system, while the United States is ranked 37th - just ahead of Cuba and Slovenia. In the Czech Republic, a proposal to introduce a 30 K? co-payment per office visit nearly toppled the government, as health care is considered a basic right in the social contract.

The United States ranks 28th in the world in infant mortality, at seven deaths per 1,000 live births, tied with Poland and Slovakia, and substantially higher than Sweden (3.4 deaths), France (4.3 deaths) and Germany (4.5 deaths). In life expectancy, the United States ranks 29th, its 77 years lags behind Italy (81 years), France (80 years), Sweden (81 years) and Germany (79 years), and about the same level as South Korea (76 years) and Cuba (77 years). The United States has fewer per capita physicians, nurses and hospital beds, fewer MRI and CT scanners than the average for other advanced nations, and has the highest rate of medical errors (receiving the wrong medication, incorrect test results, a mistake in treatment or late notification about abnormal results). Due to excessively high out-of-pocket expenses, Americans are also much more likely than citizens of other nations to skip recommended follow-up care, fail to fill prescriptions and forgo doctors' visits altogether, things which exacerbate health problems and lead to preventable suffering and more expensive treatments down the road.

In addition to providing better health coverage, somehow Europe also manages to spend less. According to the WHO, the United States spends the equivalent of 16.5 percent of its economy on health care, about $6,100 per person, compared to an average 8.6 percent in EU countries. France spends just $3,500 per person, or about 10.7 percent of its economy. As Dr. Christopher Murray, director of WHO's Global Program on Evidence for Health Policy, says, "Basically, you die earlier and spend more time disabled if you're an American rather than a member of most other advanced countries."

How were the political arguments productive ?


Besides, I still think you live at you parents house.

Anybody who sides with Alan Keyes is sort of out there to begin with, obviously not worth the time to take seriously.

You're good for a few eye rolls and head shakes when reading your posts, but not much else.

Your definition of scialism showed that much.

You're obsessed with homosexual behavior, aren't ya dewbie ?

Admit it, you're a closeted Larry Craig type, aren't ya ?

Republicans here seem absolutely consumed by gay sex acts, seeing as they post about them all the time.

Better not let your Mom see that one, she'll take away your X-box.........

Also, you'll probably be shocked to know that I'm a registered republican.

Does that mean you are forced to wear an ankle GPS unit and report to both your counselor and parole officer on a daily or weekly basis?

Oh wait, that's a registered sex offender.

My mistake. The two are so closely related....
