Did you know that when Fidel Castro took over Cuba , he wiped out illiteracy in the entire country ? It started with a small group who then went out and taught others and so and and so on until all Cubans young and old could read.
Would you agree that it is desirable to wipe out illiteracy ? Or would you say communism is so undesirable its better that people be uneducated than risk using a communist country policy that worked and benefited all . I mean after all we are capitalist and no matter what the benefit if no one makes money then its unamerican to teach everyone to read. Besides Castro was a dictator ,is that what you want ? Because that is what will happen if you teach everyone to read , the president will become a communist dictator and force you to read anti american books.
France has the number 1 health care system in the world . It is a combination of private and public hospitals and doctors. The french are healthier , live longer and have a much lower infant mortality rate and 60 % of their citizens are satisfied with their health care. Where as the U.S. is ranked about 37th and only 40% of its citizens are satisfied with the current system.(I would guess those who have va , medicare , or medicaid which are basically public medicine for select groups are among those who approve as well as those who prosper on the ill health of others such a pill companies, as well as our elected representatives who have great benefits provided by the taxpayer already ) ... If I had to guess ..
Is it desirable for our citizens to be healthier , live longer and for the good of the many be our priority ? Or is Socialism so undesireable that it is better to let those who can't afford a dr. or medicine go untreated . At least we know that those of us who can afford it are free to choose our own doctor... oh wait we're not.. but we sure are able to get all kinds of tests and unneeded procedures since insurance pays for it. .But anyway health care is a business , not a public service . Maybe those who cant afford it should have gone to college and then maybe they could have gotten better jobs .
Besides if we pay for health care for the poor , then we couldn't afford our war in the middle east , Even if it was started based on lies told by those who are profiting from it , We must protect the American way no matter how great the number of lives sacrificed or how great the expense .
Even if it means denying an education or medical treatment to those who can't afford it , its better that they die ignorant and from untreated preventable diseases than at the hands of terrorists . After 8 years of war we can honestly say thank God for Black Water Contractors because we were running out of healthy young adults .
What do yo think about a private , for profit military for hire? Contract soldiers I wonder who the main share holders of that one are ? Follow the money and it probably leads to ex cia agents (just a guess) and its not their fault that what they thought were weapons of mass destruction were only piles of big rocks .
Can you imagine , now the President is trying to speak to our students while they are in school on the importance of an education ? We simply can not have the President of the United States encouraging our children to stay in school because then they might grow up thinking the goverment elected of the people , by the people and for the people is just another word for Socialism.
