So, in order to be rich, one had to fork over all of his income to big daddy government.
And yet the US still can't make a seamless pipe.
Put families on the street or raise taxes on the rich.

Sure they have. Lower taxes=increased revenue because of increased activity. See what happens when EVERYONE gets to keep more of their own money? Oh, but I forgot. You and the rest of the delusional Left think it's the "government's" money.

Trickle down is a RW myth. OTOH, trickle up is basic economics. The economy is driven by consumer spending. Give the poor more money, and they spend it. Give the middle class more money and they'll spend much of it and save the rest. Give the rich more money and they've already got so much that they don't know what to do with the extra.
Typically, what happens after a tax cut is a few years of reduced revenue, then the normal annual increase resumes, but at a slower rate than before the tax cut. Then wankers like you start jumping up and down screaming that the tax cut resulted in increased revenue, even though it may take more years before revenue recovers to where it was before the tax cut.
Universal healthcare or single payer health insurance would require increased taxes, but it would also eliminate health insurance premiums, so probably a net gain for most. It would also relieve businesses of the burden of providing health insurance for their employees. So good for business.
And single payer is the gold standard worldwide. Only the U.S. is so backward as not to have it.
Just a suggestion, but if you're going to criticise the intelligence and education of others, it might be better if your grammar and sentence structure (spaces and commas) were at least at a third-grade level.
Then you would probably be happier working there and should move.
Also, why are people from Canada flocking to America for life-saving medical care? I could never get a liberal to admit that it even happens, let alone give an answer why anyone from a socialist utopia would even want to.
Just a suggestion, but it would be nice if you would at least attempt to refute an argument instead of resorting to infantile Grammar Nazi tactics.

It happens. But you wouldn't be interested in the details on why a few very wealthy Canadians go to the US.
More important, if you like what you have then stay with it! Universal health care for all the people has been proven to cause hair to grow on the palms of your hands.

People in Luxembourg have to shave their palms every day now!
A few? In 2014 over 50,000 Canadiens came here for healthcare. They did so because the treatment they required was not covered in Canada. Idiot.

Quora has it at 52,000. Here's a quote from Quora:
We should have a good discussion on the topic, but like I said, if you like what you already have then stick with it.

Are you interested in a decent discussion on Canada's health care system? See my post above in which I've quoted Quora.
"Flocking" is hardly accurate. But Canada simply doesn't have the population density to support large specialised providers. We do.
I wasn’t trying to refute your argument. I was just trying to help you present your argument more effectively.
Maybe because it isn't happening. I live near Windsor Canada and Detroiters buy their drugs in Canada and save a ton of money. They also get medical care at far reduced prices. Canada was way ahead of the US in eye surgery and hernia surgery for decades.
I said it before, over a million Americans go abroad for surgery. It is called medical tourism and has been going on for decades. It is a huge industry. https://medicaltourismassociation.com/en/index.html
Yes they are. That is how revenue is produced. Back in Ikes time, the top rate was 90 percent and corporations ponied in 30 percent of the revenue collected. We have been slashing both those rates since that time. In Ikes time we built our highway system, now we cannot maintain it.
Our corporate profits are at all-time highs while their tax rates have plummeted and their evasion has been industrialized.
The wealthy have had the same treatment. Slashing tax rates and estate taxes have been going on making them wealthier than they have ever been. That is where the money went. Our wealth gap is worse than it was during the Gilded Age. It is doing legitimate harm to the country.
What a nut, two simple points there is no socialism in this country and definitely not any Communism, that just right wing talk for I'm as stupid as hell and I want everyone to know it. You are a fricken joke. You know nothing about socialism or communism. and that makes it easy for you to say stupid things when you literally have no clue what your talking about. It's that funny little clown car that runs around center ring, totally full of stupid.
100% bullshit. actually 100% stupid bullshit.
100% bullshit , no 100% stupid bullshit.
