Re: State health care = communist anarchy
We in Norway pay 40% of our salary to taxes. You might say "wow", or you might say "you must all be poor paying that much!"
But no, we're not. Actually, Norway is the richest country in the world and the population amongst the richest in the world. Our living standard is the highest in the world as well. We still pay 40% taxes.
I can throw myself in front of a car and expect the bill at the hospital to be nothing to the amount of a game.
Hell, our health care system is SO ![G o o d [Good]](/emoticons/g_o_o_d.gif) , that Michael Moore opted to show the French health care because ours sounds like a fairy tale. We still pay 40% in taxes.
I went to Iceland once and broke my arm, and the health care system in Norway gave me MONEY to cover it. I still pay 40% taxes.
Had I been a citisen of the states, I'd probably be fighting for every penny I could get now. I would not have this computer, nor would I have my awesome brand new monitor.
Ohh, and did I mention that a person working at the store earns almost as much money as a doctor in the U.S? He still pays 40% taxes.
This may sound farfetched, but taxes are not money lost. Think of the tax system as Wall Street! The more you invest, the more you get back, except in this scenario you can't lose.
