America By The Numbers - No. 1?

Posted on Friday, March 04 at 12:47 by Anonymous
Next time you hear Canadian conservatives saying that we should emulate the United States in everything from tax structures to regulations to health care - point them to this. It's time we divest ourselves of the sinking giant.

    If this is "Number One" why does it smell like "Number Two"? And why do some Canadians want us to emulate it? The myths live on obviously. (Shaking head)

    <blockquote>Bush: 62,027,582 votes. Kerry: 59,026,003 votes. Number of eligible voters who didn't show up: 79,279,000 (NYT, Dec. 26, 2004). That's more than a third. Way more. If more than a third of Iraqis don't show for their election, no country in the world will think that election legitimate. </blockquote> <p>Interesting. <p>Kevin

    They spend more per capita on health care than any other developed nation and still 70 million are not covered, and here in Canada the conservative crowd wants to copy that? Like I said in another post:

    Conservatives - there is nothing they love more than something that has already been tried and failed.
