Being the most powerful currency in the world offers many advantages to the citizens of the United States due to the buying power of said currency. I'm against us being the world police though. Foppe posted... Because Americans have been drilled since the 50s that sharing is Communism and Communism is the worst threat to the American lifestyle since the Nazis. Strawman oversimplifications to the rescue! Many people are against socialism because it stagnates progress, encourages laziness and systemic abuse. There are also those who don't want to be forced to pay into services they may not use. There are people who don't want to pay for those who can't or won't take care of themselves. There's also the fact that America is a very diverse nation, which results in decreased trust and kinship with your countrymen, resulting in a decreased desire to have your income forcibly taken to pay for others. RoboXgp89 posted... if people didn't get gargantuan settlements doctors wouldn't worry about hiring people This is also one of the biggest factors in healthcare pricing. More or less every healthcare provider has to devote exorbitant percentages of their income to malpractice insurance and legal defense because our moronic system allows people to sue for just about anything, which means a lot of people try to earn big paydays for intangible shit like "pain and suffering and loss of companionship", etc. And they get these paydays quite frequently because the risks and costs associated with going to trial vs settling out of court just makes it easier for these places to settle and pass those costs onto patients. There was a lawsuit in my area recently where the plaintiff was awarded well over 1 million dollars because her 95 year old mother died from sepsis she already had while at the hospital for something completely unrelated. It's fucking insane. --- Miami Dolphins \| Portland Trailblazers \| San Francisco Giants I won't say a thing, because the one who knows best is you. <cite>Rasmoh posted [p:883536478] in Trump is T...
