Cars and socialized medicine.
« on: October 25, 2009, 05:31:49 AM »
While visiting another site, I saw that a good fellow in Denmark just bought one of these.

A cute little thing but the COST.....sheesh....Because of excise tax, VAT tax, etc., it's around $80,000.....and the diesel fuel for it is $7 a gallon (gas is $10)

But then he states he's just had major surgery and his outlay was only $20 for some pills. I think we're better off in the USA. Cost for something like that here would be $30 to $40 thou.( with diesel fuel around $2.50 a gallon).....you can buy a lot of health insurance and pay for a lot of medicine with the difference in cost.

Here's a link...BUT PLEASE....don't go there and start something.... discussing politics and religion or off limits
I've already seen a couple of good woodworking sites destroyed by politics.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
