Do some research. Malpractice suits barely make a dent in health costs unlike what Bush might tell ya. Rising health costs are due to outrageous drug prices and outrageous costs of doctors, hospitals and other health services.

Feeding and sheltering the homeless have little to do with churches.

If you rip that government provided teet away from them then I'm sure you'd be amazed at what they could accomplish in the work force. Some of them might even become doctors or lawyers.

There will always be a percentage of the population in any society that is unemployed. So you propose to just let them starve? Guess what people do when they have no food or money, they commit crimes. Its a fact in depressed economies the crime rates go up. So much for your crime free society.

When teachers who have 4 year degrees make less than dish washers at Bennigans that don't even know how to spell G.E.D., we have a problem. Why should a person who taught a person to be an Engineer make 15 times less than the person they taught?

Good start, but the whole educational system needs to be overhauled. The average high school kid doesnt have a fuckin clue what they're going to do with their life. If they actually learned something in school and high school was taught at more of a college level so when they got out they would already have some or all of their career training there would be a lot less dishwashers. This is the way its done in Switzerland. When I was there just about everyone had a decent career going by the time they were 19. Which is why I believe they have such a low crime rate.

Keep polluting the planet and you most likely won't see 75. 100 years ago 1 in 200 people developed cancer, now its 1 in 3. Same with diabetes. If you don't believe a lot of it is environment related then you're even a bigger fool than you appear to be.
