^ the only problem with hospitals and such becoming free is where are they getting their money?? They would get it from tax payers, which would increase taxes 10 fold, which would mean less money in my pocket from the pittance I earn now. Most people would rather taxes stay low and keep all their money then worry about health care they may never use.
Anyways, most people have insurance although it breaks our damn necks to get it)
I donot nessasarily agree with the crime rate being due to 'poor people'. Crack dealers are some of the richest people around, yet they are popping people left and right.
If someone hates being poor heres my advice: Work your ass off to get somewhere like most of us out here are doing. Nothing is given for free in this world. SOme of the most successful people in the world once lived in their cars and in the streets, yet got to where they areby hard work. I don't think its unfair at all. Anyone can get a job at Mcdonalds and go from there....Community college is usually practically free..
