$500k and 33years old, when is enough enough?

[quote=permabear]I would say 95% of the US population doesn’t realize that socialized medicine is good for citizens, good for small businesses, and leads to lower taxes for the majority of people.

The only people it’s bad for are the ultra-rich and large healthcare corporations.

Our corporate-owned media continues to spread mass disinformation for their own gain. It’s really too bad.[/quote]

Bingo, Permabear.

What’s funny is that people who live in countries with “socialized” medicine (which is far better and more affordable than our healthcare) can’t understand how Americans have been so brainwashed that they would oppose something that is obviously in their best interests.

None of the “Limbaugh followers” in the U.S. ever seem to question why we’re the only developed nation that considers healthcare a “privilege” instead of a right.

BTW, if you ask these people which country has the best healthcare system, they will ignorantly claim that the U.S. does, when in fact, we lag far behind those “evil, socialist” countries.

I think we should adopt Sweden’s social safety net. I love what the Swedish get over there. Permanent unemployment, start out at 90% of your salary and plateau at at 60% and stay that way for the rest of your life. Add in free healthcare, free higher education, and it’s nirvana.

You mean this Sweden?

Aided by peace and neutrality for the whole of the 20th century, Sweden has achieved an enviable standard of living under a mixed system of high-tech capitalism and extensive welfare benefits. It has a modern distribution system, excellent internal and external communications, and a skilled labor force.

The Swedish economy emerged from the financial crisis as one of the strongest in Europe. A high-tech local economy and a comprehensive system of welfare benefits allow Sweden to enjoy one of the highest standards of living in the world. Sweden has one of the most globalized and competitive economies today.

From the early 1990s until 2008, Sweden enjoyed a sustained economic upswing fueled by strong exports and rising domestic demand. In the fourth quarter of 2008, Sweden entered a recession. Heavily dependent on exports of autos, telecommunications, construction equipment and other investment goods, Sweden was hard hit by the contraction in external demand due to the global financial and economic crisis.

As a result, GDP fell 4.9% in 2009. GDP is expected to increase by 4% in 2010 and by 3.7% in 2011. By mid-2011, GDP growth is projected to slow to 2007 “pre-crisis” levels, which would be around 3.4%.

The Swedish economy bounced back more quickly than other similar economies due to strong public sector finances and a reliable export-driven economy. Main Swedish exports include machinery and transport equipment, chemical and rubber products, food, clothing, textiles and furniture, and wood products. Exports and investments are rapidly increasing, and the Swedish export market is expected to grow by 8% each year through 2013.

How did you read nirvana = suck? I’m confused? I would love to have what the Swedes have, right now. That mean I can try to get myself layoff the day they enact the changes and I can retire. I’m really envious of what they get over there.
