Well capitalism is all we've got. There really is no other system with any real-world possibilities out there.

Anyway... at your age I wouldn't expect you to care, but when you are a bit older, if you didn't have that manager's job, wouldn't you appreciate it a LOT if when you got sick you could go to a doctor and get them to treat you for free? Without worrying about your insurance, or if you can pay (if you're among the 40 million Americans with no insurance), or anything?

No? Didn't think so, because that's the position American conservatives take. I honestly can't see how it benefits anyone other than the top 5% of society, but I don't think they care because that's all rightwing Republicans care about either.

Free healthcare is one of those ideas that doesn't work. Sure, the healthcare is free in Canada and not free here. However, the healthcare quality in America is leaps and bounds superior to Canada's. The rich in Canada pay for healthcare and recieve much better service than the poor and middle class, or they recieve healthcare in America if they can afford it. Simply put, Canadian healthcare is a train-wreck, and yet liberals slaver their chops hoping one day that America will be stupid enough to emulate it

There was a scandal some years back that a dog in Canada was able to get a particular medical procedure done much quicker than a person was able to. Waiting lists for even simple tests last sometimes almost a year, where it would be a month in the US.

Sorry, but I'd rather recieve better medical service than free medical service. And I DON'T want to pay for medical services for people who don't want to work. It's because we already do that medical premiums are already so high. We need to STOP these entitlements for everyone, not add more!

Yes, I'm an evil conservative who believes people should earn things in life instead of having them handed to them on a silver platter. I have the terrible conviction that people should work for a living instead of recieving everything for free while doing nothing in return. I'm Satan because I don't think the world owes anyone a living. I'm a latter-day Adolf Hitler because I think free handouts are the best way to ruin an economy and society, and because I think the idea of punishing the hard-working people to support lazy people is a retarded idea.

Let me ask you handout-advocates: Why go to school? Why even bother to achieve anything? Why not take a constitutional to one of your beloved socialist utopias in Europe or Canada and just live off of the government your entire life? There's a reason America is the strongest and richest nation in the world, and it's because we still cling to the idea that when people get a free ride, they will have no reason to ever want or need to contribute to society. The last thing I want to see is America become like Canada or Europe, and become a weak, decadent nation that can barely afford all the handouts it gives to the wasteful portions of their population.
