Wut? That was your point? Well that's dumb.
Our taxes should be a way of equitably sharing the costs of government. EVERYBODY should pay SOMETHING... even if it's just a symbolic dollar.
We've weaponized the tax system and it needs to be reformed.
Government healthcare is wonderful... just ask the British media...

Moral, where did you see this stat?
Also, I think more people die due to malpractice.
Also, I think I saw a documentary that more people than 45,000 die each year due to drug abuse.
Also, my Canadian friend always comes to the U.S. for his surgery because of the wait in Canada.
There are ways to get people insured other than government control.
Not dumb,... We've suppressed the cost of labor for years by not controlling immigration,... We need to control immigration and raise the value of labor so that we can put people on a more equal footing... We need to give people a way to earn their way into the middle class rather than using the tax system to dole them into the middle class,... I'd rather pay more for everything rather than give it in taxes to the government to play middle man...
Actually, if you want more taxpayers, we should welcome immigrants who want to come here and work. They would then become taxpayers.
Wanna be middle class? Become a nurse. Become a truck driver. You'll get a job immediately after being trained. There's good money in both of those occupations and it's rapidly getting even better (big shortages in both professions).
Yes, but immigrants that fill positions of need,... we don't need to import more competition for low wage jobs...
That's actually something I would agree with. The suppression of wages has been a major contributor to wealth being concentrated at the top.
I also think corporate tax dodges need to be reigned in.
I have yet to have someone answer for this. Based on this source
https://www.statista.com/statistics/222127/quarterly-corporate-profits-in-the-us/
Adding corporate profits for 2018 we come up with 8.298.5 (call it 8.3) trillion dollars of corporate PROFITS.
When we look at how much tax receipts our government gets out of that.

205 billion
So corporations paid an effective tax rate of 2.5%
Forget 21% which is the theoretical corporate tax rate. If corporations paid just a 10% effective tax rate and we had not had our silly little tax cut we would be running in the black.
OP didn't realize who the Tories are and managed to post a headline that owned himself. Solid work.
I don't have to ask their media because I know many people who live over there, and everyone of them say (Except for when the conservatives try to keep cutting its funding) it's really good.
This is one of the things we like to talk about at the abortion parties.
Ok I’ll try again. If you are single and make $17,000 a year are you poor? Not according to Medicaid. You can’t have it both ways you either care if poor people die or you don’t. You obviously don’t.
Not as many as I wish. But I manage a company with an office in England, I also have clients all over Europe. I meet them every year at conventions, and I talk with my staff on a daily basis.
I happen to know a bit about India's regulations and systems too due to our office there.
Next question?
