A true american hero

The thing about Moore is that most of the stuff he finds in his films are facts. But documentarys political or not usually express one viewpoint. Nothing that goes against the viewpoint usually gets in the films.

Now conservatives often do the same thing. There's a guy on youtube who along with some libetarian media company went off to Canada to disprove Canada's health care system. Except the only things he could really bash were 1) wait times 2)overcrowdness. He tried to go to a clinic at first as I remembered and was "surprised" they weren't open on sunday. Which lead him to go to one of the busiest and overcrowded hospitals in Quebec, and he got all mad because he would have to wait a few hours to get a blood test. I forget his name (he's in the busniess, he actually voiced one of the characters in that Arthur show), but he was raised in Quebec and is known for his radical and almost silly poltical viewpoints. Someone like him knows exactly the biggest faults in his local area, and the general healthcare system.

Poeple can make things look from utopian to dystopian with a video camera and knowledge beforehand.

The USA defaintly needs a national health insurance or a single payer system. I have health insurance, but I might switch jobs and lose the coverage I have for right now or might not be able to afford what their health care offers if they offer anything. Most universal heath care systems allow private clinics, doctors, and insurance, use less tax dollars (1/3 of all medical bills are the billing part which is cut when the government pays most of the bills) than what we pay now, and cover everyone. It's like public schools, some parts are good some are midground, and some are bad. But nobody in their right mind in this country would deny children the right to an education so why deny a sick person healthcare unless they want the threat of medical bankruptcy?

Because having rules you expect your employees to follow = uncharitable.

I hope he wins and then loses his second term so the Democrat who beats him can say "you're fired"

I think most conservatives are stuck in the stone-age on most all social issues, but I also think most Liberals have no idea how to conduct fiscal policy. That being said, I'd take a radical liberal over a radical conservative any day.

At least a radical Liberal has positive (if completely impracticable) ideas. Radical conservatives just hate, hate, hate :?

There was a time where both Liberals and Conservatives supported roughly the same economic theory. That was ****c Keynesian economics which grew in popualrity and was the rule of the economy for most of the world by WWII. For example, one of the reasons Japan was able to get out the depression as quick as they did was because of Keynesian tactics. The nordic countries also did a similar thing except they were influnced by a guy who influnced John Maynard Keynes so they are credited for having Keynes before Keynes.

Then Margraet Thatcher and Ronald Reagan came along and spouted Neo-****cal non-sense. Lowering taxes for the wealthy, and assuming rich corporate douchebags woudln't keep all the money to themselves and the use the extra money to move factories to China instead of "trickling down the wealth" was a naive idea.

Some said bush jr used keynesian economics but that was a rather new branch of keynesian and it was used in a much different approrach. One of the key factors in Keynesian economics is the increase of government spending to pick up a slow economy. WWII is a great example of this. We were in deep finicial trouble, and we spent a whole lot of money and came up with one of the best employment rates in our history still today has never been beaten. It did leave us with a massive debt that slowly went away piece by piece, but it was slowly chipped away and everyone had a job supporting the green collars or were green collars themselves.

Bush instead used tax dollars to fund mostly the private miltary contractors, and the criminal Rx companies. Instead of giving people jobs, our tax dollars really went into a rich man's pockets who refused to give it out to the rest of us. The housing bubble probably could have been prevented if more people had good paying jobs to keep paying for these vastly changing house estimates.

Reagan, and both Bushes have all said that they wanted to reduce spending and slash taxes. They cut social spending, and cut taxes while increasing miltary spending by an enormous amount resulting in some of the biggest deficits we've seen out of any presidents so far. It's ironic that the only fiscal conservative since the 80's was Bill Clinton.
