But the crazies tend to get better help in other countries. Free healthcare and all.

    Free my ass. Tax payer funded. If you're going to support something, at least be honest about it.

    Nothing in life is free. I guess we should just get rid of the word. Who doesn't know that "free healthcare" is paid with taxes? I obviously mean no unexpected bills or denied healthcare. Nobody has to chose between food or medication. Obviously...

    Do you also comment about the word literally and figuratively being synonyms?

    Literally, it's an important point that seems to be lost on many that believe if we just tax the top 10% (who pay 90% of total tax revenue) even more, we can fix all our problems. Every country with socialized healthcare requires every citizen to pay a significant tax to cover the cost. If people are not willing to pay for it, they shouldn't be advocating for it. But first they have to be educated on the reality of the cost. So yeah, stop saying free because many have no clue.
