  1. Kyle needs to stop pointing at polls. They are unreliable. People support those ideas until they see the price tag and taxes.

  2. Thelogicalape, when put up to a vote in Colorado close to 80% said no to it. Why? Because taxes were going to be increased on every working person.

  3. Darth Revan, that is not true.

  4. Daragh, polls are unreliable because you are asking vague questions on complex issues to people who are not informed on them. How many really understand the issue of healthcare? So do you trust their opinions?

  5. Defense spending is around 4% of GDP. Government spending in healthcare is more already.

  6. Matthew, ideas like universal healthcare. Colorado is a blue state that voted for Bernie in the primaries. Close to 80% said no to universal healthcare when the price tag was given.

  7. Darth Revan, that is not true.

  8. Lion Online, polls give a snapshot, not a trend. At that point in time x% of people may support something, but over time when more information is given opinions change. These are complex issues people know little about, you can't rely on a poll. Polls have some value on local elections the closer you are to the actual election. The reason why is because there have been adds and locally people understand the candidates better. But on issues like Medicare for all very few understand the complex issue of healthcare. And the question is vague. Saying if one supports Medicare for all without more information is flaw. The people can be heard. That is why we have town hall debates and elections. That is why those on the right push for more local government. The more local a government is the louder the voice of the people are. Nations like Candad, Norway and Australia have many shortcomings in their systems. They are not ideal. They also have different cultures and different economies. To describe that you need to almost write a dissertation. Not to be rude but you seem to be one of those individuals who don't understand the complexity of these issues. Using the term like "living wage" is a key sign for that.

  9. Matthew, $30 million is a drop in the bucket compared to our overall economy. Average wages are arguably not lower. Small businesses have always struggled to provide healthcare. The question should be why should healthcare insurance be the responsibility of the employer? Wal Mart does not have to give those people jobs. Access to healthcare arguably does not relate to quality of life. There was a study done in Oregon on that.

  10. Matthew, in a $18 trillion economy $30 million is nothing.

  11. Lion Online, town hall debates provide more information. Someone gives their opinion and says why. Polls are flawed in that they question is essentially yes or no when the issue is more complex than that. Also, in phone or online polls you cannot see people's reactions. In town hall debates someone asks a question and gives their motive behind it and the person being asked can get into detail if they so desire. More information is given to where opinions end up changing. Who regretted voting for Trump? I see little evidence of that. Fact is polls are unreliable. The phrase "living wage" is subjective and means nothing. I suggest you stop using it. Medicare for all and "free college" have many shortcomings.

  12. True. That is why many on the right want to limit the powers government has so it has nothing to sell. What I find to be ironic is that these ultra leftists complain about corruption in government but then want to give them more power.

  13. They won't. Even their boy Bernie toes the Democrat line.

  14. Duncan Hunter has been receiving around 70% of the vote during the elections. This radical Justice Democrat has little chance.

  15. Justice Democrats are radicals.

  16. Except, they are not advocating for those things.

  17. Macklin, why do you hate gay people?

  18. ShadowGaming113, money in politics will always exist. Also, money is a form of speech when it is used for campaigns, so you can't make it illegal. What you have to do is limit the powers government has. It is very challenging to do healthcare based on "need" as that is very subjective. Also, almost everyone wants healthcare for everyone, reality is resources are limited. Saying you want healthcare for all is not really a rallying call because who doesn't want that? If you get rid of tuition you remove an important part of college. College is an investment. Ending the war is not easy. It is a mess, i agree, but saying you want to end it is easier said than done. I read Noam Chomsky. He is not too bright on political issues. He is great in his field, not outside of it.

  19. Lord Crump, money is speech. People use it to pay for ads.

  20. Frank Lance, it has always existed. That is why you need to limit government.

  21. Frank Lance, slavery was ended with government force. What makes you think government is going to stop taking money.

  22. ShadowGaming113, money does equal speech because you can use it to buy ads. What is the difference between donating to a campaign to pay for ads or Kyle giving free air time to Bernie Sanders? Medicare for all would be difficult. Other nations have many shortcomings and when you break it down the US is on par with other nations. We should improve the system we have, not completely change it.

  23. People seem to be happy with our healthcare system when close to 80% vote against universal healthcare.

  24. Lord Crump, you need money to pay for the add. Just like you need wood to pay for the house. Money is speech. Again, what is the difference between giving someone money to pay for ads compare to giving them free air time?

  25. ShadowGaming113, in 2016 universal healthcare was put up to a vote in Colorado and close to 80% said no. Fact is polls are unreliable as they are vague questions on complex issues. You can point to polls all you want but reality gives a completely different picture.

  26. ShadowGaming113, Colorado voted for Clinton. Colorado is left leaning. Those polls you point to are flawed. They are vague questions on complex issues. But again, you think Colorado is right leaning.

  27. G Kaiser, they also tax their citizens at a much higher rate. Their culture accepts that. People in the US won't.
