[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s why it’s better to live in countries with good social programs and free healthcare, childcare, eldercare.[/quote] People always say that we’re the only industrialized country without free healthcare, childcare and elder care. What people never talk about is why that’s the case. The reason is that we’re the only industrialized country without a value added tax. But whenever that’s proposed Econ 101 kicks in and we say “we can’t do that! That’s regressive!” Social security tax, as a wage tax, is also regressive but that doesn’t bother anyone because it works so well. If we want the benefits of free care we must have a value added tax, just as every other industrialized country has. Without that, it’s not happening. Either way is fine, but either way we must accept the consequences. [/quote]
