That's the big problem with government health care and other socialist policies. We end up paying for all of that crap. They use the same argument for seat belt and helmet laws. But shouldn't each person be responsible for the consequences of his own mistakes? Socialism, fascism, corporatism, and all of the other forms of big government eliminate that very responsibility. Then people wonder why people are being irresponsible!
Haha, indeed. Now, I'm not that into to crap on my government, but that's because I'm under 18 and don't pay taxes, yet. So, for us youngsters, it's a hell of an awesome life. Free dentist plan, free medical plan, free this and that. But seeing as I'm not gonna be under 18/not working a big part of my life, I can't see myself living in Sweden anymore, might even move over to the United States, but that's a big maybe. (It's far from home Plus that IF you don't succeed in the US, chances are that your life is gonna suck ), or I might get into politics and become the Prime Minister and then revolutionize the whole system and make Sweden a super power and claim back Norway and Finland mwhuahahahaha
But everyone has been brainwashed and sees not our government as a tool to rule our country by our demands, but thinks so low of us that the government is some sort of parent and need to watch over us 24/7.
A mass-surveillance law just passed a few months ago (that allows surveillance of any communication coming in and out of the country) and now another law is about to pass making it legal for CD/Film companies to demand private information from ISPs (Like IP numbers) if they suspect someone to download their material...
Which makes me really scared because it seems like we're going to become... Well... I dunno...
Russia?
