I have spoken to Canadians who also enjoy the same benefits and they have the same attitude about it. This is something I am very much in favour for. Many in America that I know do not have the expenses for essential medical procedures, surgeries, essential medicine. Because of the fact we are taxed for universal healthcare we in NZ are not denied life saving operations/medicine. So that is where I stand on that.(11-13-2016, 01:08 AM)taramarie Wrote:(11-13-2016, 12:59 AM)Eric the Green Wrote:(11-12-2016, 10:25 PM)gabrielle Wrote: If the blue states secede from the union it will leave progressive individuals and those from groups who would be victimized in Trump's America--blacks, latinos, Muslims, gays etc--in the dirt.

It will be time for them to move to blue America.
Easier said than done more than likely...expenses and all that. Some people can not easily pack up and move for various reasons.
That before they get taxed in to oblivion for all of "free" shit they hope to receive. I expect them to go the way of Venezuela in about the same amount of time Chavez and Maduro took to do the job.
Now your sounding a little bit more testy than kumbaya.
I like that.
