[QUOTE="johnoutdoors, post: 804812, member: 27521"] You missed the main thrust of my arguement or intentionally avoided it. Why on Earth would any American want to use a system like that? Why not reign in the excessive spending, decrease the size of the gov't, keep more of our own money in our pockets, and provide for ourselves without relying on big brother to bail us out from our personal failings? Why would I want to pay the gov't, who will in turn pay an agency, who will in turn pay a provider to give me a service for "free" when I can just as easily pay a provider myself and cut out untold layers of middle men thereby saving proportionally to the number of layers cut? Why would anyone vote for a used car salesman of a politicain who would tell me that they know better how to spend my money than I do? Unfortunately, there are enough people here that don't take the time to understand who and what they are voting for. They make decisions based on emotion not reason. Can you, using logic and reason, tell me why I would want to jump on the bandwagon of people who want the gov't to do for them what they could do for themselves? [/QUOTE]
