Now I have to teach you morality?
Have you no economic sense?

One way won't help all, and simply doesn't work.

The other has proven to work for all.

Which is the more moral?

If you have guts, withdraw from NATO and all other military alliances and tell US to F off.

See how long you can last without the United States.

Therefore forcing other people to pay for your compassion is such a great idea! Thank you so much for supporting my point!

There is no "healthcare tax," so you cannot collect something, even with nice words, that does not exist.

Health care is paid for out of general revenues: sales tax, import duties, income taxes, excise taxes, and so on. Revenue from all of these goes into a big pot, and is allocated accordingly: to road maintenance, to federal and provincial parks, to infrastructure improvements, and many other expenses; including health care.

But "heathcare tax" is not a line item on a pay stub, nor is it anything you'd see on an invoice from the government.

Stop paying your taxes and see how fast guns are coming out.

You are either stupid or being obtuse.

It happened to my mom a few times. After the first visit, the specialists just referred my mom either back to the GP, the hospitals' clinics, or other specials in the same field, with no follow-up visit. Just saying they have a way to do it.
