13. Do these fuckers have any idea how the rest of the 1st world operates?
Even Canada. Canadians pay fewer taxes than we do, but they get something for their taxes, including medical care and prescription drugs. You do have to have separate coverage for vision and dental, but it's not expensive, at least that is what my friend from Ontario tells me in between bosses on World of Warcraft. :evilgrin:
And in Europe they may pay more taxes, but they get something for THEM too. They don't feel like they have to work so much to just live day to day because they are taken care of. Why is this such a terrible thing for these fuckers to understand?
I long for the world of Star Trek: the Next Generation where there is no wealth, only enlightenment and intelligence. SIGH.
