i do agree with the fishing notion.

And sorry yes i should realise that your poor population (lower-lower class) is quite large and very poor.

I think the thing is that the gap between Rich and poor is massive in your country as opposed to mine, so perhaps i cant see all of the issues that you guys must deal with.

Maybe you could send the poor ones to canada and mexico?

No, really though, there is no way to bridge the rich-poor divide without taking from those that worked for it and giving to those that cant spell w-o-r-k.

Perhaps a period of socialism (to equalise those inequalities) then we can all go back to capitalism.

But as far as healthcare is concerned, i think its a shitty situation your country is in, and sympathise with those who will lose out if they have worked hard to get where they are. There is no easy answer.

But that being said, as a country i feel universal health care is a must if you wish to be considered the greatest nation on earth.

And that being said, I agree that those who chose not to contribute should not reap the benefits from those who do.

Really the issue at the heart of this is spiritual, - when each realises that we are all one, the rich will be happy to help and the poor happy to work.

Each person should contribute enough for themselves and any children they choose to have - it should be taught in school from an early age that if you choose not to offer a hand to your society (if able to), you dont get to ask for one.

I have no sympathy for those that wont at least try help themselves.

Make illegal commodities legal, do away with financial support for those who refuse to work (if able), and when they say there is no jobs and they cant buy food - point them to the fields and tell them to grow some.

But always look after the populace's health, thus giving them no reason not to work.
