As Lou and Riz have said USA is more than just ..... (my words) the circus you do have "in town" now
USA is made of beautiful and amazing land, people all types, great Teaching/ institutions, your gov....your culture, your cuisine...etc
If someone disagrees or disapprove of your gov policies (domestic and/or foreign) that does not mean to hate USA that means disagreeing/disapproving of your gov and both parties are very much the same.
People can see any issue as the health care program in USA as the way it benefits or not that particular person as you have stated, however Liberals like myself do see the issues like health care as the way it benefits "the people" even above my own interests.
I am sorry you do struggle to pay 1,400 dollar for a family health care coverage, we used to pay around 1,000 dollar (while in USA) a few decades ago for the basic insurance of 4 persons in the family.
As an example just one difference between the plans: Insurance companies now set their own prices Insurance companies will have more freedom to set their own prices: it means that older people could pay five times the amount charged by younger consumers. Obamacare set the limit at three times the price.
Trumpy is reducing the budget for social programs including health care and increasing the military budget.
Lou I would like that one of the people that supports Trump would tell me how it is Trump's health care plan better in comparison to Obama Care.
We are an underdeveloped country but we do have social health care, is it the best? no, but people can have medical care no matter if they are even unemployed.
I am not a connoisseur either but a friend of mind is into the wine culture (she used to live in France because she got a degree there) and she gets some bottles of good wine (not expensive though) and store them in a cellar for a few years and those wine improve some.
On the wine.. subject Recently I watched a documentary about how Sake is made and it is very interesting and sad at the same time because it is strong and there are other options so people are not drinking it and the tradition is being going down, they will need to innovate and do something with the Sake.
I have met several American Teachers in USA (elementary school teachers) and they were very well prepared and very humane people and I have also met several USA Professors and they are equally prepared and humane people and their level of expertise is the highest and that is something that I have always admired from USA, its Academic insitutions and the results they have in Science and Technology :tippet:
Some people here have not idea about of what they are talking about and they have not idea of what paying taxes is and certainly they have not idea about politics, laws... in their own country, so they are easily brainwashed by the mass media which fits the agenda of the elites.
What we write, how we write it says it all about who we are.
Trump has not released his tax returns because they are being audited, sure No matter how Trump's taxes are maked-up ("fixed") the truth will come out, he has pissed off many people even in the Republican side.
As a child I think that I went to the circus just once, we could not afford it but now this circus is way more entertaining even if hidden in the back stage
President Donald Trump paid $38 million in taxes on more than $150 million in income in 2005.... after writing off $100 million in losses.
Trump also declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns and that the large tax deduction could have allowed him to avoid paying federal income taxes for up to 18 years.
"Rather than focusing on population growth as the preeminent environmental problem, we need to accept our growing numbers and look to what we can acceptably change.
And it’s no secret that it comes down to our use of resources.
If product engineers were made to consider the 10-billion global population during the design phase, for example, they could create products that are more durable, longer-lasting, and more easily dismantled for efficient recycling of their materials.
Energy could be generated from nonpolluting sources. Instead of wasting 40 percent of our food, as we do now, we could farm, store, transport, and eat it more efficiently...."
