Funding public pensions

[IMaDick]

Always amuses to hear yanks complaining about unions when you consider that they work the longest hours for the least pay and the least amount of benefits and paid holidays than anywhere in Europe.

The corporate fatcats have sold you the capitalist American dream and average Joe six pack has swallowed it hook, line and sinker, everyday the fatcats spank you on the ass and you say "thank you sir can I have another?"

Lets see how you feel about the "pursuit of happiness" when your job is shipped out to Mister Wing see kwok in Beijing who does your job faster and better than you for ten bucks a day and all the white rice he can eat.

I agree! USA don't have a public health system so they dont have the choice of private health insurance and so they are charged top dollar and getting ripped off. They cant go public. I did a diploma in small business management years and years ago and what I learnt from that is that the rich don't pay tax. Ordinary Joe's don't seem to understand that.

I mean this kind of mentality feeds social problems such as crime and antisocial behaviour because you create a "have" and "have nots" and the "have nots" are socially excluded and devalued. The homelessness that the US has, is a disgrace in a westernised society.

I wonder what the Canadians think of all this?

Ummmm we have private health insurance, what we don't want is nationalised health insurance, and a 50% or higher tax to pay for it.

you know some how, 6.00 a gal gasoline just does not sound good to me, how much is your petrol in aussie land again? how much a liter?
