Lots of ideas to digest Patrick! Will get back to you later after more consideration. I will say one thing that I think is relevant to the conversation now and that is that the"poor" and the working class is so busy trying to get by that they are often unable to live truly fullfilling lives . It amazes me that many in the USA consider Government Healthcare some kind of communist plot. In Australia you get treated for injuries and health problems through "Medicare" regardless of your economic situation. To my way of thinking health and education should be free to all citizens. Education(tertiary and private) has to be paid for by individuals,although fees are defered until you are working in a job over a certain income. It used to be free. We as citizens paying taxes deserve free health and education. A healthy and smarter population is best for everyone.....less crime, less people dying from treatable ailments, more happiness and feeling of security,etc. People dont blink an eye whenso much tax dollars goes into the military war machines but free healthcare is wrong!? ahhhhh! I believe that goverments should strive for egalitarianism especially in health and education. Got more to think about but thanks for your considered thoughts.
