[b]"the problem is socialized health care contradicts the concept of a republic, if you are a true patriot you should know, live, breathe the constitution. wake up and smell the socialism it's everywhere they handout money for nothing. welfare, unemployment, corporate handouts, social security(social get it) and so on. to take from a worker to give to a non-worker is a form of socialism. you have the right to pursue happiness and not a right to happiness. when you create these programs you have to create more government departments to deal with the new program. you also create a dependencies of a portion of our citizens. you also open avenues for corruption, because money is like rottening meat in the wild, it draws a lot of bad elements. the founding fathers said;"[/b] 

 


I don't believe health care reform is socialism nor do I believe it contradicts the concept of a Republic. Republic is derived from the Latin phrase res publica, which can be translated as "a public affair".

James Madison defined "republic" in terms of a representative democracy. However modern and ancient republics differ widely in there ideology. I think we all can agree the Republic of 1776 is not what we see today. In many ways we are worse off due to that reason. Many ways we are better.

If you believe we should care for our elderly, our veterans, and provide education to our young, than you have seen and agreed with the power of our "Republic" as a representative democracy.

 

Hey, TP....I don't think GTA 1 has stated much past work history on this site, if any.

 

I think you are confusing him with another poster here, or another local message board that failed and is defunct. You're telling on and revealing yourself again! Especially since you only joined here on Feb 14.

Are these your great debating skills? Simply imply or call someone a name that you disagree with? Talented indeed.....
