Acworth, GA | Ah yes A red state... 'nuff said. |
|
| More like a poor state (which almost always also means a red state, of course). But they keep buying that "keep the gub'mint out of my Medicare" and "we've got a spending problem" rhetoric that the TeaTards keep spewing, so they stay poor. |

Thanks for the explanation. |

I agree poverty has a lot to do with.
Why is it necessary to use a derogatory term like "TeaTards"? I don't think you adequately explain how being a red state makes it poor. Alabama was heavily Democratic until the 1980s, and was relatively much poorer than it is today. |

Isn't Georgia a red state as well, Mr Glass House? |

| What part of Red State do you not understand? Duh. He said it all - there is nothing else to say. |

Of course it was a stronghold for Democrats, when "Democrat" in that part of the country meant the KKK and White Citizens' Councils and "segregation forever" and opposing all social progress for 100 years--also known as extreme conservatism. Unfortunately it was so far behind the rest of the country even post Civil Rights in the 1980s that it's much poorer than the rest of us to this day. |

Ah, another libtard that automatically buys liberal propaganda and automatically calls anyone conservative, from a red state, or from the south is stupid.
Tell you what, lets have a battle of wits, why not? I've seen plenty of dolts like you online and I can assure you that my IQ, mathematical abilities, knowledge, etc, is far greater and the only thing you can do better is insult. |

I would prefer government stays out of health care, especially the DEA.
As for the spending problem, you don't feel borrowing money from China to give to Pakistan is a "spending problem"? |

| Great, you can use the quote button, it's a shame you can't be an adult and have a mature conversation about this, when you say things like "libtard" that's what makes "liberals" stereotype about conservatives, because there are too many people like you would rather say that than actually have a mature rebuttle and be an adult.. oh wait you watch Fox News and stereotype about liberals, I know far more conservatives who use the government more than "liberals", shut up and get out of your hole there bud and see the real world. |

Hey einstein, libtards started the flaming...
And as for you, since you don't like the word 'libtard' how about idiot? I never watch fox or any news, I get mine from sites like this or [H]ardforum, and I spend my time either learning things or going to the gym.
Do you know any mathematics beyond basic math? Try me anytime. I bet you are as dumb as you sound. |

As a democratic socialist, I believe the necessities of life should be provided at COST. Health care should be a huge co-op. As manager of this co-op, who is better positioned then the government?
The insurance companies have doctors and patients by the throats. They siphon off 1/3 of the gross, and put 1/6 back in payouts - while providing nothing else at all.
I'm all for one-payer health insurance, but the corporate propaganda machine has been successful in demonizing the word 'socialist,' successful at demonizing 'unions', and will continue to feed on us when we are ALL poor.
For those 'rugged individulists' who think this is good, welcome to your dog-eat-dog world. |

Actually, they are literally impossible. I don't mean in the sense that It would be hard to do, or people wouldn't want to do it.
I mean technically impossible. At cost healthcare , like the proverbial "free energy" in chemistry / physics just can't happen.
Competent doctors are just too scarce of a resource, and even greater complication is that most of a doctors expense is intangible experience and training. |

It would be hugely successful! It would cost consumers more than a third less and pay providers about double what they're getting now! That's a fine non-socialist solution that would beat the current situation by competition.

The poorest states are the red states, they're also the ones with the highest dependence on federal funding just to keep going since they have such low revenue.
Freedom not to pay taxes means you're free to also not partake in things like roads. |

Never heard of the "Blue Dog" democrats in name only, or the racist democrats still pining for Jim Crow? There here quite allot of those down there.
You can't take the party name to mean anything, our system is incredibly roken because it only allows for 2 parties, every attempt to remedy that problem has been shot down by those in power since if there where suddenly 30 viable parties to choose from they couldn't get elected.
