Universal Health care

The democrats almost all agree on this one topic universal health care. This is not only impractical but not smart. First of all in a country were money is low and we are funding two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were are we going to get the money need for universal health care? Well I know were that is coming from, it is coming from us...the people of the United States. Now to do this we are going to need to raise taxes, but wait aren't we doing that now well the answer is yes. So unless Obama or any other democrats can make money appear from thin air we are going to have raise the taxes on the already high taxes.

Your main argument against universal health care is that our taxes in the US are too high. This is quite untrue, here is a chart for you.

Just for reference this chart is from http://moneycentral.msn.com... just so everyone can look it up. I put it on the actually debate post just because if I posted a link no one would ever bother to look. Also the column on the right is taxes on a single individual and on the left it is a family with two children. While some countries do have slightly lower rates than the US we have much lower taxes than most countries. Thus your argument is less than true. I would love to expound on why I believe in Universal Health care more but for the time being I only 1:13 to argue. I don't know if this has anything to do with the new site or not but it is quite annoying.

I don't have to much to say. Monkeydude said that we would have high taxes if we had universal health care. I looked up the stats on how high our taxes are and they aren't very high at all. That is the only argument he has made thus far therefore I anticipate a rebuttal and possibly a new argument.

No argument, no response
