Obama Supporter Does His Homework, Impresses Interviewer Related Videos
 Bill Clinton & Barack Obama at Florida Rally |  Robert De Niro endorses Barack Obama | Mike Huckabee on Barack Obama's Speech on Race |
Fosfor Gadgets has a list of the ten weirdest USB-powered accessories available for your computer, including a functional George Foreman grill and heated slippers. My personal favorite, though, is the self-destruct device depicted on the left. I’d love to re-enact the self-destruct scene from the classic Star Trek episode “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.”
I never understood how Sen. Clinton would enforce a mandatory universal healthcare system. Anybody have info about this? (... fining people who don't buy into it? jail time if they don't pay those fines? seems like libertarians would crap their pants about this.)
if the interviwer does this for a living he should be fired
Came across like the interviewer was on a mission to prove a point and came up empty.
David Brooks of the New York Times wrote a very interesting and thoughtful piece about why this is and what this means; http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/08/opinion/08brooks.html
(makes you register to see it now... definitely thought provoking, so worth the minute of effort if you're interested)
At any rate, he did a good job.
Oh, and optional healthcare plus subsidies for the poor would be a fair equivalent to universal healthcare. The point is to make sure everyone has access, not necessarily to force everybody to pay for it.
In the US we hate taxes because we feel that the money is wasted, Canadians don't seem to mind them, because they know they are, at least to some extent, put to good use. I would love to have that problem.
Canadians are proud of our health care - hell, we are proud of our country! Our taxes are not "through the roof" like MarineGunrock hasn't been brainwashed to believe. They are a little higher than yours, and I don't have to spend my days worrying about access to health care.
I think it alleviates ALOT of animosity between classes that exists in the U.S. People here just don't have to compete over something as important as health.
You used to have a few health problems as a child so you weren't accepted for medical insurance.
Your kid gets hit by a car, starts bleeding internally, broken arm and leg and a few ribs on the side of the impact.
The kid, however was crossing where/when they shouldn'tve been so you have no case in court to sue for medical costs, and you were barely making enough money to get by before.
I've had this discussion with americans millions of times, I would personally rather lose however much from my paycheck to allow that family to keep their child in the best medical care possible. Rather than to have a family have to try and scrounge every last penny out of what they had before.
Life for everyone > an extra few bucks on my paycheck. imo.
The title is a fair description of the video. "Impresses interviewer." Not "Pwns interviewer."
I don't get why some of you act like the interviewer got aggressive and got his ass kicked. He pressed with more questions until he got the answers he wanted.
I think it's because the guy constantly interrupted and raised his voice. If you do that, it's gonna look alot like you are trying to fluster someone more than get honest answers out of them. Otherwise, why not just let the subject of the interview answer your questions? Then, when they don't lose their composure, you look like a douche who who got handled.
Heck, even the Lithuanian system worked for me. i pay 15% flat tax and $40 a month social (including state pension, which i doubt is worth anything, but that's another debate). I wasn't even registered when i went to hospital but they just did the paperwork afterwards. Try that in your "land of the free". 10 days in a bed, no extra charge. The food was shit, but hey, my girl brought me stuff. So in effect i just privatised the kitchen lol. The surgeon worked three jobs, in public hospitals not private, in lithuania not abroad, out of PATRIOTISM AND LOVE OF HIS PROFESSION. something i guess you understand... and something i guess "the markets" will never be able to measure and reward. Oh, and how is the US system taking care of veterans?
props to the interviewer for being nice at the end, btw.
"Huckabee speaks to Jesus.. so vote for him!"
We can see how well that mentality turned out with Bush.
And yes honkeytonk73...he must be one of the "few" well informed voters...because NO one would be as informed as you...you're above the masses and the "little people" right?
As an average Joe with no kids and single living in Helsinki and earning 33600€ a year you pay 24,5% in taxes.
Cap is at a friendly 60%. That includes Municipal tax, Progressive state tax, church tax and healthcare payment. (in order of hugeness)
On top of this 22% VAT on everything. And special taxation on tobacco and gas, which makes up about 75% of the 1,4€/liter price. but at least there aren't any road charges.
And no, all this doesn't give free health care, but it's capped at 600€/person per year. I guess it's free if you are broke tho, seeing as you are getting monies from the social anyways.
