So rising up and slicing throats contributes to this discussion or any for that matter?

Do you have a link explaining that the bottom 40% of Americans don't pay any income tax? Also, no one is suggesting we use the French system, which is way too expensive. I suspect we're doing something more similar to the UK or Canada systems, which are less expensive.

Here is a link showing 2004 stats, I read that tax year 2006 was 40% but until
I can find the stats I'll amend my statement and say 32% do not pay any income tax.

Oh good, I was hoping someone would bring up 'immigrants' in here. How dare they get medical treatment!!! They're dirty and foreign, and they aren't desperately capitalist like we are!

I never said how dare they get treatment, I said they use the ERs as a normal
doctors visit, why because they know if they have a cold the ER will treat them for it. And bringing up immigrants is a very legitimate topic. If they do not pay into any system or pay for the services they recieve, someone else will have to pay for it.
