When are the gallows scheduled to return? Or maybe beheadings? Who’s up for some indentured servitude?
What’s next? Trial by ordeal?
Last week I had a medical surpríse, which involved being whisked to a giant shiny hospital in the early hours of Sunday morning, pumped full of sweet sweet morphine, scanned with MRI, X-rays, ultrasound and a special endoscope procedure, housed in a large private room for two nights and examined by multiple specialists. They sent me home with a gift bag of (superfluous) codeine and antibiotics, and the total bill came to exactly £0.00.
That’s not me gloating, I just think the contrast bears highlighting as often and directly as possible. A political party campaigned on switching directly from a US-like system to this fully socialist system, and won, and then did it (in three years). But on the other hand, the word “socialism” is often accompanied by a spooky chord and a switch to grainy black-and-white footage. So I guess it’s a real huge dilemma.

Lest we forget, Kansas is also the home of the Phelps clan.

Koch libertarians are always going on about rent-seekers sucking on the government teet. What the heck is this then? Public money used to enforce private debt collection.
And State Policy Network.

If it’s a hospital, appeal to their Mission Statement, which usually contains language about meeting the healthcare needs of the community and continued commitment to the care of the poor… Also, most hospitals are NON-PROFIT organizations…i.e., they’re not paying taxes, supposedly in return for promising hospitable and generous care.

If the State income tax rate were any less, it would be negative rates, baby. They—you know who, have already brought public education to its knees, and now, with that out of the way, cronies rule.
