Is fishstix stupid or just blind to the fact that USA is a communist country now?

We Answered:

Wow, I feel so special that you need to post a question about my intelligence. You called me a liberal, but you may be surprised to find that I've been a lifelong registered Republican. I believe in the death penalty, the right to bear arms, have strong views regarding immigration, and am pro-life. Because I disagree with you does not make me a liberal nor stupid.

If we are now a communist country...
What job did the government assign you to do?
When were you refused your right to vote?
Are you making the same wage as everyone else in the country?
Are you seeing the doctor that was assigned to you by the government?
Have you been refused the right to gather publicly to speak out against your government leaders?
Have you been arrested for speaking against the government?
Are our government leaders not elected but instead just took over?

I could go on and on. The United States is a democracy. Look in your question..."They own the banks, auto industry, social security, insurance companies, mortgage companies..." If I read the news right, most if not all actually ASKED for the government assistance. The government did some long and hard thinking before giving any of the groups money. It's not like the government jumped on the chance to "own" these failing institutions. Our elected leaders decided to help out these institutions because the US and world overall would be in a much worse situation if they hadn't. Can you imagine going to your bank to make a withdrawal only to find that the doors have closed permanently and your money is all gone?

By the way...the United States doesn't "own" any of those institutions that you mentioned. They're still companies with their own organization and business plans and still have private and public shareholders.

The fact that you and I can publicly disagree and can publicly debate the state of affairs also proves my point that the US is not a communist country. Like I posted in my answer to your other question, if you don't like the way the government is handling things, you have a voice. Talk to your elected leaders and let them know your opinion and your way of getting out of the situations that we're in.
Or are you one of those people that just want to sit back and whine and complain and be a problem instead of the solution? I have a feeling that you just might be...especially since you felt the need to call me out to bash me and call me names based on my opinions. I'm sorry you have such a terrible miserable life. I am happy and proud to be an American and live in this country.

Arnold Said:

where can I get travel insurance to cover the USA for an 83yr old without having to take out a second mortgage

We Answered:

Air travel tickets paid for by credit card include insurance (Discover Card has one of the highest at $1/2 Million per ticket).
Some travel insurance may be included with your house insurance.
You really need to specify what your idea of travel insurance is, in other words what do you want to insure for (or against) and to what amount.

Viola Said:

Seem Odd? Bush doesn't talk much about the USA, inspired PR? ...nothin...doesn't he care?

We Answered:

I do not follow politics well enough to give an earnest opinion...but because of some my beliefs I am led to more to lean towards your first statement...
"ever think he secretly wants to see the country go for a big fall"
hmmm...sign of the times?...time for a shift in perceptions?

Peace!

Martha Said:

Are you living in the USA and struggling just to?

We Answered:

The Leaders of your country (whatever their party) only represent themselves - the rich elites.

They are greedy enough to watch people starve, so long as they make more money.

It's time the people united, and demanded a better deal from their leaders, even if it means fighting for it.

Vive la revolution !
God help America ( and good luck to you)

Loretta Said:

Why do people think the USA is the best and other countries suck? (long post)?

We Answered:

You already know the answer to your questions.
It's something I like to call IGNORANCE! :(
The US is a 'nation of wealth', yet we have so many homeless.
The US is greedy and all about money.
My theory is it is a federal corporation and we are its employees.
The judicial system sucks...

Fyi, Americans are not the best... we are all equal.
I also agree with the individual who said 'lack of exposure.'
That is true.
