Australia: best economy in the world and second-most desired location to live. It might occur to some wise people to take a look at what we do and have done to get to such a position. Or you could just pretend that everything USA does is right and the best alternative. Australia isn't socialist like Europe - which is bankrupt as a result. It isn't uber-capitalist like USA either - which is also bankrupt as a result. We have a system that picks out the best from both. We have a strong capitalist economy tempered with socialist welfare (and universal health care). We don't have cradle-to-the-grave welfare but we do support our unemployed and out poor. It is a system that has given us the best economy in the world while giving a standard of living that is top 10 and a desirability ahead of almost everyone. It can actually be done. We ahve far less rich people than you but also far less poor.

You are so biased that you pick and choose exactly what you want to hear. The only people who hold up our system of what NOT to do have a hidden agenda and believe in socialism and think the government can do everything better. By fomenting unrest they can get more power. I listen to Glenn Beck frequently and he has a lot to say about the evils of socialism an progressive thought. He even defines what the progressive agenda means. It is not good. His latest example is what happened in Czechoslovakia in the thirties when the Communists took over after creating a false sense of the world coming apart by starting riots in the streets. This is off the point but relates to my previous comments. I tend to agree that everyone should have health care but to be provided by the government is a recipe for disaster. Actually the reason we have so many problems is that as the government provides more businesses are only too glad to opt out and let the government do it. Plus there is so much waste and fraud when the government gets involved. That is what I complain about. You on the other hand think the government should provide everything and when it doesn't you think we don't care. In a small population like Australia it is much easier to monitor fraud. Also you don't have the same litigious attitude as here. ----- Original Message ----- From: "geoff" <[email protected]> To: "'ProFox Email List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2010 12:25 AM Subject: RE: RE: [OT] Serious legal challenges to Health Bill > A) I live outside the USA and listen to people and their comments > including > politicians > B) The USA health system is routinely held up as a model of what NOT to > do. > C) the fact you don't think health care is a basic right says more than > anything else about how far your country has slipped. > > Geoff Flight > General Manager > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
