I doubt most Marxism soldier, as you call them, are actually following Marxism to any great extent. They just follow part of it and call themselves Marxist to give themselves credibility.
Let Marx rest in peace.

Elements yes, but different aspects of different govts occur in different countries. That doesn't mean they are Marxist. Socialized medicine occurs but it doesn't mean a country is really socialist. Over half of the health care in the us is paid for by the govt but the us is not socialist or marxist or whatever. Different countries just have different elements.


I don't think US government pays the actual doctor bills, just the insurance premiums. The company I work for is self-insured, they pay the doctor bills. We still have deductibles, premiums, co-pays, just like everybody else. We pay Blue Cross, to administer the Health Care plans, our company offers. I've only talk about health insurance outside the company with a few people, we got it pretty, compared to ObamaCare offered on the government website. I had $78,000 worth of surgery last year, only paid $3,000 of it, and a few other things I didn't bother seeing if covered, or use the prescription discount. My 911 ambience ride cost $620, which seemed high, didn't do a who lot, even had climb in the back, on my own. I hurt bad, but probably could have drove myself, only about a mile. Cigna Health Care, is a total pain to deal with, worst part of it all. They administer our Short Term Disability benefit, and they don't care that you just had abdominal surgery, so many forms to get filled out, pretty much every two weeks you are out, you have to run some paper work. When the set me out with a repeat set, I wasn't exactly polite about it, that, and it takes about 30 minutes or more to talk to someone, never the person, who is suppose to be handling the case, so you got to run through a bunch information, that should file. Blue Cross, the put you through, very little if any hold time, questions answered in minutes. With Cigna, it was a struggle, to keep my language clean, might have slipped a few times toward the end. The shorted me two weeks of benefits, but our HR depart got that fixed, I know I wouldn't have handle it well.

Government insurance, is a lot like Cigna Health Care. Makes you wonder how many people they killed. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't been driving the day after I got out of the hospital, but there was a short deadline to get those forms filled out, and sent in, quite a stack the first time, and only 6 days. Failure to get them in on time, could mean denial of claim. Threats and short deadlines were the last thing I needed. The 7 days in the hospital wasn't fun at all, either.

Not sure why James is so eager, and obsessed with abdominal surgery, specially the type he wants.

Which is why they are socialism (except for military health care).

The ONLY authorized program in this list is military health care, because the authority to raise armies IS granted by the Constitution.

Yes you are. You are lying, even to yourself.

Medicare IS socialism. You are only grateful for it because you receive it. Others pay for it at the point of a gun (that what a tax is).

It also brings misery. People die because of the bureaucracy and the delays it causes. What you receive is only a small portion of what is brought in through taxes to run the program. The government keeps the rest.

The point i'm making is that we are close to 100% govt paid medical care. It's ok by me.
Who's going to pay for your health care when you get old?
If young people don't help with your premiums and if the govt doesn't help pay the bill, you won't be able to pay for medical care for yourself.
If only old people contribute to a fund for old people's medical bills, the old people will go broke in a heartbeat (no pun intended) and will have to be on govt assistance even more than you imagine.

Statistics don't really mean much, just numbers on paper, line on a graph. If that data is garbage, the statistics are garbage.

I'm doubtful most old people will honestly tell anyone just how much money they have, might not really even know for sure. They own a home, lived in it for 40 years, how would they know the actual worth? It's worth hust what someone else is willing to pay. Might have some stocks and bonds tucked away, never really kept up on them, money if things got tight, never did. When you get old, you are less able to defend yourself, or protect your money. Something most people learn in life, don't advertise, just attracts thieves.

Even when I was a much younger man, most of the jobs I had, offered health insurance, retirement plan, few other perks, all voluntary, if you had to pay, you had a choice, all very reasonable. I tend to believe most older people today, had similar opportunities. Kind why I don't support ObamaCare, or any other government health care plan. If you work, you are almost guaranteed to be offered health insurance. You can always change employers, if they didn't. Perks, benefits, wages, are all things use to attract and retain employees, and those employees appreciate getting those things. The government stepping in, and making all those thing mandatory, weakens the work force. People don't care if they keep their job, they can now get the same compensation most anywhere.

I tend to believe most working Americans have some money saved up for retirement. There are probably quite a few, who just blew through it, never figuring on living that long, or Social Security would be plenty enough. Some have family, who didn't want to wait for an inheritance, and helped them spend a good portion of their savings, before hand.

The thing is, that as you get older, you have family, friends, and neighbors to help you out, if you bother to stay in good standing, stay involved.

How do you determine what's 'little', and what's a lot, when it comes to savings? I've got enough cash in easy reach, if I run into problems, like house repairs, another used car, my deductible, if I need to go to the hospital, again. Don't consider that a lot, but enough to not have to worry about where I'll get money, if I really need it. Know a lot of people, who live paycheck-paycheck, and even then, it's never enough. People have all kinds of choices in life, and should live with the consequences for those choices. My life, is my responsibility, and no one else's. I don't believe the government has any right to make me responsible for other people's bad choice's in their lives. I don't lean to the left at all, I strongly believe in personal responsibility, and independence.

And yet you support a 10% reduction in the corporate tax rate while the US government is running $Trillion deficits.
I'm disabled and have no insurance. Doctors charged my insurance when I had a job but as you told me, doctors aren't responsible for getting it right. Because as you said, I should be thankful for the harm that they've caused me.
As I've said before Harvey, you're ignorant. You're just an ignorant, self indulgent person. An introvert from what you say. Only you matter. Yet you pay a gas tax. Why? Why do you pay local taxes? Do you ever call the police or the fire department? No? Then you shouldn't pay taxes.
Heck, you know how to call your local hospital if you ever need an ambulance, right? we should get rid of the entire 911 system. It's a waste of your money.
If someone calls 911, they should pay for that service or their insurance. Why aren't you complaining about that? The police do nothing for you, do they? They don't. We should get rid of them and the fire department. Even the local health inspector. If you don't shop or eat somewhere, why pay the government to make sure they're not making other people sick?
You should run for office and point out how your local government is wasting YOUR money.
It's odd though, you'll support China when it comes to a $500 Billion trade deficit. And then you won't have a problem with our $1 Trillion budget deficit.
I know you don't get it. When man hours of work are lost to cheap foreign labour, the economy contracts. To grow the economy, the government then increases the amount of national debt to compensate.
At the same time, the trade deficit allows China to buy US businesses and mineral rights. They have a budget surplus. And when China buys American interests, then that capital lessens the trade deficit. That's economics that you support.

We could. Human societies thrived for millenia without governments dictating how businesses are to provide their goods and services.

Kind of why I want out of America. It's a hostile self loving country. Being an American doesn't mean anything. Hold it. I am A ME rican. A Me rican is like a Puerto Rican but lives in the US.

I think he's being scapegoated, should come out in the trial. He was the only deputy on school grounds when it started, the resource officer. Don't think he knew exactly what was going on, how many shooters, or where in the building the shooting was going on. Sure, in action movies and video games, the hero cop just rushes in solo. Real life, it's pretty reckless, little foolish. I don't think he would have been much help, if he got shot, just as he entered the building (oops, wrong door). Help should have been arriving quickly, probably better help, being the resource officer, and already knowing which building, and his way around the campus.

It's a public school, and likely had what was deemed sufficient security, probably better than most. An AR 15 can be folded up to fit in a backpack, duffle bag, or in your case, a purse. Only weighs about 6 lbs, doesn't attract much attention when concealed. I guess the only way to be safe, and avoid the debate, would be just to pass them out free to anybody who wants one, and encourage them to carry them at all times. If somebody wants to break the law, are words on paper really going to stop them? Can't pass the background check, psych evaluation, age requirement, or too broke, just 'borrow' one, stealing is quite as bad, as murdering 17 people.

I think you're right, but it does look bad nonetheless since he was there specifically for that purpose. He was not there to teach kids or to help with homework.

A duffle bag, sure. A backpack, not really. A shooter is not going to disassemble the AR-15 and then wait to reassemble it once he is inside the school.

It would be better to go with the 8-lbs figure (just tack on 33%). They don't attract much attention when concealed, no, but students with duffle bags usually do.

From what I've read lately, there are all kinds of options, don't need them all. The most basic, is under 6 lbs. But sure, couple pounds of loaded clips to swap. I've also read that it takes under a minute to assemble and ready to fire. I'm sure that comes with a lot of practice. Ar 15 is just one brand, there several very similar models, from different companies. Some are, smaller, lighter, probably not as dependable either. They are designed to rapid transition from stored to go, quickly. Less weight and space they take up, makes it easier to carry other stuff, like more ammunition...

They have video of him hiding behind a pillar 2 buildings away. Just had no interest in anything other than calling for back up. He said that he only heard 2 or 3 shots fired. No need to respond to that, right? Yet he stayed in the same place for about 45 minutes.
On the other hand, a college student who was unarmed confronted a shooter and kept other people from dying. You guys are pathetic. 17 kids died and you feel sorry for the security guard who did nothing basically.

I don't know the details, none of that stuff was in any of the news stories I've watch or read. He was a sheriff's deputy, not a security guard. I don't know departmental policy, on active shooters, but I would believe, they aren't mandated to rush into it, solo. I don't know how he could have been sure who or what was on the other side of any door he opened, to go in a save all those people. There were a whole lot more than 17 shots fired, can't imagine he only heard two or three. I haven't been following closely, or investigating. Will wait for the trial, and see the full report, not just little bits, with biased interpretations.

Do you mean where the sheriff that he worked for says that he took cover outside?
The sheriff revealed on Thursday that a deputy at a Florida high school where 17 people were killed took cover outside rather than charging into the building.


https://www.nytimes.com/2018/02/22/us/nikolas-cruz-florida-shooting.html

He could've entered the building without charging into it. Then he could've taken the suspect out but video shows that he hid and did no reconnaissance to know what the specifics of the situation were. And if he charged into it, the shooter might've stopped because everyone wasn't afraid of him. The deputy would've been better prepared for the situation than unarmed students.
It is sad that you can't take the time to learn what you're posting about. As you said, your time is meant for leisure and nothing of consequence. You do have that part right.
