Default Capitalism, the movie



I wouldn't pick out Medicare as a good example.
They collect 3% of every wage dollar earned in the country, only
provide health care for about 15% of the population and they are going
broke. Their waste and fraud rate is worse than the insurance company
"overhead" we keep hearing about.




Hard to know what to believe. The Republicans have always been opposed
to Social Security and Medicare. Info from that side is, and always
will be, that these programs don't work.

Republicans have been opposed to child labor laws, and worker protection
laws. They have favored poll taxes and I'm sure there are many who
would like to go back to the days of only white male property owners
being able to vote.

By the way, I had a moment of awakening while watching Fox News "What's
the matter with Acorn." I now understand the issue with Acorn.

It's exactly the paragraph above. Acorn gave rights to people who the
Republican's deep down don't believe deserve the same rights and
privileges that the rest enjoy. It's the voter registration drive that
really ****es them off. How DARE them register people who didn't earn
their place in society.
