Happy man SAYS:
but not have a fare system fore sick and pore peopel, in sweden we have taxes arond 30 %, and 50 % if you doing a lot of money, but we have free hospital treatment almost free doctors
YOU SHOULDN'T TAKE A STRONG STAND AND MAKE STATEMENTS WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW AND DON'T UNDERSTAND?
Like Yeru says the US does spend a lot of money on defense, but it also spend billions in aid to many countries and also has a welfare program second to none in the world. The system is set to take care of anyone who needs not only food, but monetary assistance and medical help?
The only ones that seem to fall through the cracks are the mentally unstable that choose to live in the streets? If you are making these statements due to pictures of homeless people in the US, there are many homeless shelters and places for these people but many of them choose to live out side of shelters because of some requirements like soboriety to stay?
The American system does it without 50% taxes also?
Most of the people that c riticize the US forget about the billions of dollars given to many countries all over the world. Much of this aid is mishandled by the political systems in these countries and doesn't get to the needy.
Our system is not perfect but it is one of the best in the world today?
I get the feeling that much of the talk about Iraq is smoke screen for all of the things that are going on throughout the world with fighting terror? If the politicians in our country talk about what is going on the news media here would have it on the news 24 - 7.
