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 o...
Resolved: Judicial Activists should not be appointed to the Supreme Court.
I affirm: Judicial Activists should not be appointed to the Supreme Court. [Definitions] Judicial activism: the term used to describe the actions of judges who go beyond their constitutionally prescribed duties of applying law to the facts of individual cases, and "legislate" from the bench. These judges create new constitutional rights, amend existing ones, or create or amend existing legislation to fit their own notions of societal needs. [Contentions] Contention I: Judicial Acti...
Universal Health Care
Universal Health Care is good thing. It defends our right to life, that is sometimes taken away in the name of corporate profits. I talk later about everything that needs to be covered. And please for the love of god, do not write a novel in response to my arguments. It is hardly required....
Doctors salaries are a major part of the health care problem
Insurance and drug companies and malpractice are blamed for poor care and high costs but Drs seems somehow to get off the hook. The reason other countries have cheaper health care is that Drs elsewhere make have as much....
Hands Off Economics Does Not Work
My argument is a very simple, competition drives the free market. Here is the problem in order for something to be a competition you must be competing to win. What happens when there is a winner in the free market, there is a monopoly which kills the free market system, there is no longer any choice in what you buy. If you take away the competition that drives the market there is no longer any reason to produce and again the free market fails. So if you choose to leave the market alone it is bou...
SHUT DOWN THE STOCK MARKETS
I am not an expert in stocks. I am a commoner seeing many people investing their life savings in stocks and stock markets through one route or other, directly or indirectly with the hope of higher returns on their savings. The amount they save for the rainy day is not safe is my argument. The sentiment that drives the demand and prices for stocks or the sentiment that leads to market crashes is too risky as a channel for common man. There must be better way for the companies to mobilise funds fo...
Liberty is maximized through Socialism not Capitalism
I believe my statement is quite clear. The reasoning behind my argument is Capitalism restricts your freedom because of your economic status. Since your economic status is something you do not always have control over you have less liberty. In Socialism your are not trapped by your economic status because everything does not have a cost. Keep in mind this is not a debate on systems of rule such as democracy or autocracy, just a debate on the economic systems themselves. I will go into far...
Freedom is not free and the cost is war. Freedom is the reason we are in Iraq.
All of us have heard the term "Freedom isn`t free.". It is commonly said and we read it on cars everywhere! So I am guessing that this simple fact is "common knowledge". If it is common knowledge then why do so many people (*cough* liberals *cough*) act like its not a fact?! The war over in Iraq is all about FREEDOM! The Iraqi people WANT FREEDOM! The one problem is, is that they dont have the streangth to take it for themselves, so we are helping them! Freedom is not free! War is the price we h...
There is no significant proof that GW Bush lied to get into Iraq.
The proposition is pretty clear, I have yet to see any real evidence that Bush lied, except maybe a few people claiming he did with no evidence....
