Why do you oppose socialized healthcare?
Q. Most of the Democratic nominees want to erase those preniums on medical insurance so that the average American won't be overburdened with personal bills. Don't you want the same socialized utopia as with your Congressman/woman? There seems to be a huge argument over whether socialized means a slippery slope in pharmaceutical quality or patient care but I don't buy that since Canada and the Scandinavian countries have all adopted a similar universal plans w/o any leaks or problems What are your reasons for opposing such a plan?

A. The main reason: There is no Constitutional authorization for Congress to tax or spend the peoples' money on healthcare. To quote James Madison, called the "Father of the Constitution: "Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government." And I don't recall seeing any Amendments to give Congress the power to do this, do you? I could go on about the increasing costs, such as in Canada where health care eats up a significant portion of the provincial budgets, how there are long waits for procedures and operations, how taxes are increased, and how government corruption and inefficiency make it all even worse, but I'll stop here.

A. Every time I've landed at Manchester Airport no-one seems to bother. The suitcases come round on the carousel, I pick them up and walk through the 'Nothing to Declare' Channel. There is a sort of office if you do have something to declare but I've never seen it manned. I have been searched several times when leaving Manchester and also at Gatwick and Eastleigh but never on arriving. However it is possible that the cases are scanned in advance before they get to you as they pass through an X-Ray machine. If you are bringing back something you've already taken from the UK then you shouldn't need to declare it. Just make sue that you have proof it was bought here in the first place such as a receipt.

A. Do not send any of them any money! I got scammed by the chick from your first email and chances are that they are all the same person. Don't deal with anyoneyou can't talk to in person and make sure you see the apt or whatever it is before you give anyone anything. If you have any other questions I am happy to help.
