| Slimebeast said: lol It's about the difference between a small state and a big state. I am for the state taking care of people's basic needs if they are sick or disabled, or get in trouble, like accidents and stuff. And I'm not against universal healthcare (not that u said I was, but Kasz implied it). I don't think I've ever written anything to suggest that I am against basic universal healthcare. In Sweden elder pensions are mandatory. A part of your income tax goes directly into the pension fund. That will secure a quite decent pension, especially if you actually work your whole lifetime. Some people want to invest additional money though privately to increase their future pension. It has lately become popular because the interest in those funds are free of tax (I think). I thought you had the same system in the US! |
I live in Canada now! I don't know anything about how Canada handles this. Maybe famousringo can tell us (I think he's a Canuck)
