Quite right, but pharmaceuticals are not all industry based. Much of their research is done by universities and other learning institutions, pharmaceuticals provide some funding and a way of distribution and marketing. There is a sort of check and balances within the industry.

Seems like you got exactly what I meant when I said "no one gets turned away".

What?  You don't like a "Orphans Day" Bill that includes increaded military funding, new search and seizure laws and a carbon tax?

We take you live to Washington:

"This is an emergency session in Congress to direct our attention towards the Crisis at Springfield. The bill is proposed to immediately use US Army Resources to evacuate the city and it's residents from harm.

Yes, I'd like to tack on an additional 40,000 in funding to support the pornography industry.

All in favour of the joint Springfield evacuation/perverted arts bill? Denied!"

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Democracy does not work!

This thread needs more Simpsons.

Also, they should fund universal healthcare by getting rid of things like... the Department of Education... which is a completly worthless goverment organization... like you need the Federal government bothering the local government about education. Just cut them a check if you want to and let them handle it. It's not like a state is going to want to make their schooling worse.

You could lower the military budget... i'd perfer getting rid of the many many worthless branches of government deparments we have. I mean, our troops despite all the awesome funding arn't exactly making alot or getting all the best supplies. I'm guessing too much of that money goes to R&D of crazy sattelite based nuclear defense systems and nuclear missles we're likely to never use.

I agree with the TC. Hillary? Barack? Way too big government, not to mention Hillary just seems like an airhead half the times and Barack won't even say the f'ing pledge of allegiance.

I used to be all gung-ho Republican back in the day, but now I'm strictly libertarian, albeit with socially conservative leanings. I'm a staunch Jeffersonian and an avid supporter of states rights, small government, and capitalism.

Ron Paul is the first republican in a long time that seems worth my vote, though the repubs usually get my vote anyway just due to lack of a good alternative.

If I had my way, I'd be voting SIP every election, but sadly they don't run too often.

You'd be surprised at the amount of backwoods Southerners that still vote Democrat simply "because they're Democrats."  They don't know a damn thing about politics, but vote Democrat because their father did, and they did because their father did, and so on and so forth.

Winston Churchill said something like this: IF you are 20 and not liberal you don't have a heart, if you are 40 and not conservative then you don't have a brain.

Real life and expericen have a conservative bias, appropriate seeing as how I am arguing with many 'young people'

AND I expect the liberal to start insulting me, thats is what they do when they disagree but don't have any ideas, they don't have solutions so they insult!

i will leave with this said by someone whose name i cannot remember: If you argue with fools in the end they will they still be fools, and you'll just get tired!

@fkusumot

almost forgot... bet you wouldn't say any of that to my face punk!

you look like bjork, elton john, and prince had a threesome and you are the dwarf love child

Screw everyone except Ron Paul.

Haha America is going to be run by a Woman or a Black man, oh that's just gold, no disrespect, I just see so much irony in it.
