At last..Pericles has a contribution. Pity it isn't as useful as it might be :(

Here is an amazing speech by Ronald Reagan in 1964 which mirrors the very same attempt at socializing America with "Obamacare".. very much worth listening to.

Pericles.. it is quite valid to extrapolate from the case study because it is as universal as the conditions which enabled it.

If you have a spare moment, see the Reagan speech. It's a beaudy! and you can see the "Obamacare" is just 'camels nose in the tent door' socialism and Reagan does a MUCH better job than I or space will allow in pointing out where it all goes.

I'm asserting one fundamental POINT in this thread.

SOCIALISM is high taxing/big spending (until the dosh runs out)

CAPITALISM is low taxing/fiscal responsibility/running by affordable budgets and the dosh does not run out.

Perhaps a better term for 'Capitalism' would be 'fiscal/economic conservative'

But c'mon Pericles, you know human nature.. "gimme gimme gimme" and that's why Socialism does not work.

Once it takes hold.. it will try to dictate EVerything you can and can't do... is that the kind of society 'you' want?

You never say much about your own beliefs here.. but you attack and undermine fiscal/economic conservative posts.. makes me *wonder* you know......a bit of a 'elitist/socialist' by any chance?

If yes..by all means make your case.

Well AL those that jump in early never see what they really are. Sad isn't. Save the world! Yes! would love too!

Well its the same old ways. Can dish it out but cant take it:) Oh I live for F/heads:)( your such great entertainment ) This is 4 years deep. Adult-children...shock! I must get out more.

see.......its hard when one must hear so much wrong...but then again, I should lighten up:) But maybe that's why thanks to the likes of Paul hogan and such, is why racism and Australia fool are both in the same pod:)

Even some new/old posters are having some slight simulated mind developments in the realms of paranoia, but Iam sure they will get better soon:) Iam just learning here and it seems that now bast@rd comments are the go when it comes to qlds screwing over they own kind for a buck. WOW! You must all be so captivated in your spender.

And these people are the back-bone of this country/state. Big picture laughing stock, but they will tell you they don't have any court problems. lol. Again... what fantastic people, and there not judge mental:)

Oh dear, Oh dear, Oh dear! You know slander and defamation is against the law...........arrrrr but we are all aware that some are not that bright and are only look for a fight instead of thinking and maybe saving this country that all clam to say they love and die for it all lol Thats a joke! Your all to busy being smart-arses, that's why your Government has to import out-side help:)

If that's all you have for your country,WELL! I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. For some I'd tell you to go to hell..........But I think your all ready there.

And you wonder why no other culture cant stand you. I have talked to all, and This land was built on racism, but you know who you are and you don't need me to tell you.

Oh....by the way........my first 4 weeks here in QLD........my daughter was sexually assaulted by a Queen-slander.
