It is NOT a crazy idea to suggest higher taxes. IT WORKS.
Humm please do tell us which countries you are referring to

The socialist Scandinavians of course! They have their priorities in the right places. Unfortunately America's little sister EU is ruining a lot of that beauty. I hope it can still be preserved through this transitional period.

yeah screw them, here is something which i strongly feel is a problem and it looks as if it is rubbing off here in america "gay marriage was legalized in Scandinavia, marriage itself has virtually ceased to exist." (http://www.wanttoknow.info/visionsofarmageddon)

oh yeah btw about this awsome health care issue..

"As is the case in the other Scandinavian countries, Norway has a National Health Care System. All Norwegians are insured through this system and it is financed through compulsory taxation. Unlike the United Kingdom, the private health care sector is very small, limited to a few clinics, mainly in the Oslo area. These clinics provide supplementary health care. It is, however, not possible for a Norwegian citizen to opt out of the National Health Care System and buy his or her own private health insurance.

During the past few years there have been a number of mass media reports of patients being denied presumed beneficial health care by the system. The system continues to suffer from long waiting lists. Even though the Government has introduced a 'waiting list guarantee' which gives patients with certain conditions a guarantee that they will be treated within 6 months, there has only been a small reduction in the number of patients with these conditions who have waited longer than 6 months for treatment. The issue of health care resource allocation or rationing has thus entered the public debate, as it has in most other countries."


humm seems like we have alot to learn from them
