What is more the USA has more violent crime happening too thanks to retarded gun laws and people being pushed into a position where they have to commit crime to survive thanks to people with idiotic policies like yours.
Well, this all pretty random. Where did I say the US has lower crime than Canada or Australia?
I never would (because it isn't true) and doing so would lead to a pointless discussion along the lines of, "Gosh, you mean the 3000 Canadian people that all look and speak like each other and have the same culture get along with less friction than the bazillions who live here from dozens of cultures? Who would have guessed?"
No, I said in plain English that I don't like Canada's system of making people like me pay for health care plans for criminals and people who choose not to work at jobs where they would have health care plans.
Until Obama expanded Medicaid with ACA, we didn't have that in the USA. If a delightful young lady said,"Gosh, people will wire transfer money to me if I stick my private parts in a webcam" the money was what she earned for the activity and that was all.
President Obama and his constituents thought,"You know, medical care is expensive. That young lady needs a HMO like her counterparts who invested time and money in themselves and learned to become doctors, lawyers, and accountants. The people with the normal jobs should pay for her HMO, after all, everyone's work is important, even sticking your private parts in a webcam so men can masturbate."
That is exactly what socialism is, no more, no less.
I'd object to it for everyone here, because flipping burgers and stocking shelves used to be transitional jobs people took when they either didn't need a HMO because a spouse provided it, or they had for a short time while studying job skills or seeking more substantial work. Trade agreements and outsourcing ended that though, so I can (almost) see the necessity of subsidized HMOs for burger flippers and shelf stockers. There just aren't enough jobs anymore for everyone, and people who work their 40 hours at a real job should have some sort of health plans.
Adding criminals, the sex trade people, and guys like Apoppin is what annoys me. People who choose jobs way outside the norm and want us to fund them for no reason beyond their greed and selfishness.
