    My grandfather was actually born during the Civil War. My grandmother had no love for Black-Americans at all. Don't know his beliefs on the subject because he died before I was born.
    I also accept no guilt for what my forefathers may have done or not done, it wasn't me. However, I do believe in helping people out of a hole that was the result of something my forefathers did a long time ago. The sooner these folks can get more productive and advance civilization more rapidly and pay more taxes the better it is for me and my descendants. I look at it as a win-win situation.

    First, he's got to start a GoFundMe for the Wall and then get Mexico to pay him back. Good luck with that.

    umm, My oldest Grand father was born much later. 1872 I think. Since I am probably a generation older than you,
    this seem improbable. Not impossible, but not likely. Are you speaking of Grandfather or great grandfather?

    That's fair. of

    But when you say pay for your own healthcare.... You would be. Why wouldn't you trade maybe $500-600 more in taxes to eliminate your premium completely, take out a middle man that should've never been there in the first place, and help cover everyone on the country?

    Wee would literally cut ALL of our healthcare costs by over a third.

    I honestly dont believe those numbers OR the numbers the right throws together when they’re argueing for a second. I think the full extent of having government ran healthcare is something they wouldnt really know for like 5-10 years AFTER it was put in place.

    That being said the amalgamation of healthcare, insurances, pharmaceuticals doctors offices and hospitals that we have here is a travesty. So Id be willing to give the government care thing a go, because Im not sure it could get worse. What scares me though is everytime I think that it cant get worse, America votes...

    Look.... What I'm saying is... Why compare them at all?

    Of course I've said in this very forum:

    "Blacks get told to stop whining when we bring up slavery."

    "You don't hear Jews get that said to them regarding the holocaust"

    I'm ONLY comparing them in a sense that they are both horrible human tragedies that we ACTUALLY FIXED. That's it. Not saying one is worse than the other.

    And that is met with "hey the holocaust is worse" so basically AGAIN, "quit whining".

    You tell me whether or not that's bullshit.

    Because a reasonable post it was not.

    Why? Isn't everything cheaper when you take the middleman out?

    Other countries do it. As a matter of fact EVERY country in the OEC nations guarantees their citizens healthcare at at least HALF of what we pay per person in the US.

    We can do it too but big Pharma and big insurance have made healthcare for profit in this country.

    Because the same politicians who have been in the pocket books of big insurance and big healthcare would also be the ones I'd have to trust to not make themselves rich off of government ran healthcare.

    Like I said there are pro's and cons to government ran healthcare. I lived in Canada for a while and healthcare there wasn't exactly "perfect" either. I think government healthcare could work, I just think the costs associated with it we wouldn't really know for a while that's all I'm saying.

    Do research.

    Name one Republican that refused PAC money. I'll wait.

    I can name 10 Democrats off top.

    Who the Hell said perfect? Not me...

    It's better than ours because EVERYONE has access.

    You said (I've been comparing our healthcare system to one like Canada's) Canada's system isn't perfect.

    I'm not asking for perfection. That's silly.

    I'm asking for universal access.

    That's such a non response to me... I didn't say if it was republicans or democrats. I said the people in power now have already proved their more than willing to use health care to make money. Those people will still be there...

    This coincide with the recent epileptic stuff about Pelosi? He got PISSED
    It was a reasonable post by a guy who didn't bring it up.

    An opinion that seemed based on facts.

    There is no parsing slavery of any kind. Comparing our brand to another country's brand (when I'm only ever talking about AMERICAN slavery) is weird to me.

    And you still didn't address what I said about the holocaust comparison.
