As a UK taxpayer whose broadband charges are about to rise 30%, you'll
excuse me if I don't. But gov.uk would probably take more notice of
listeners/customers anyway.


Do not mix both problems...

BBC world service is a real service for a lot of people around the world.
In a lot of countries it is difficult to get real information about what
is occurring on earth...

The fact that taxes are about to raise in UK is probably due to the fact
that companies did not pay enough taxes in the past...

So why should the British [UK] Taxpayers Pay For
The News and Information of Other Nations ?

Shouldn't the Citizens-of-the-World "UN"
Be Paying for the BBC then . . .

Yes, but conservative governments rarely believe in educating the
masses. *Idiots are their best friends.


20 years ago the World Service may have been educational; I recall it
being the most "highbrow" of all of the BBC's radio channels. What I've
heard of it recently has sounded increasingly like ratings-chasing. And
I haven't become conservative with the passing years: much the opposite!
The World Service is not what it was: I object to paying for substandard
broadcasts.

Anyway, from 2014 it will be funded from licence revenue, not from a
direct government grant.

Sebastien's point about tax evasion is a fair one. The UK government
has been colluding in it for years.


That's right - the British conservative government has lost interest
in educating.

It would be a good compromise.

Russia's and Romania's external radio programmes are more interesting

"In principle, every American citizen has an equal say in our political
process. In practice, of course, some of us are more equal than others.
Billionaires can field armies of lobbyists; they can finance think tanks
that put the desired spin on policy issues; they can funnel cash to
politicians with sympathetic views (as the Koch brothers did in the case
of Mr. Walker). On paper, we’re a one-person-one-vote nation; in
reality, we’re more than a bit of an oligarchy, in which a handful of
wealthy people dominate.

Given this reality, it’s important to have institutions that can act as
counterweights to the power of big money. And unions are among the most
important of these institutions.

You don’t have to love unions, you don’t have to believe that their
policy positions are always right, to recognize that they’re among the
few influential players in our political system representing the
interests of middle- and working-class Americans, as opposed to the
wealthy. Indeed, if America has become more oligarchic and less
democratic over the last 30 years — which it has — that’s to an
important extent due to the decline of private-sector unions."

No 'poppycock' at all. The Wisconsin unions offered financial cuts and

In the governor's case, the finances had nothing to do with his agenda;
he -does- want to get rid of collective bargaining. The guv wants to
bust unions, pure and simple.

Steve, from your posts here, you appear to be just a little guy, not a

The Simple Fact is that All Employ Benefits* should
be on the Same 50%/50% "PAR" as Social Security

50% Paid by the Employer =&= 50% Paid by the Employee
* Retirement
* Health Coverage & Insurance
* Life Insurance
* Disability Insurance
* etc etc etc . . .

Tax Golden Benefit Union Employees as Excessive
Income that the Employer Pays More Than 50%

Government Employees Benefits Should Be The
Same As Regular Hard Working Average American
Tax Payers :
* Fairness For One Is Fairness For All
* Equality For One Is Equality For All
* End The Excesses of Big Government Give-A-Ways
* Government Employees Work For The People
{The People Do Not Exist To Be Taxed Into Slavery To
Support Excessive Benefits For Government Employees}

Not true. It was actually a handful of people at a handful of
institutions making greedy (and stupid) decisions. 2 acts of Congress,
criminal behavior by Moody's and S&P and some below the radar "waivers"
created a derivatives bubble. Barney Frank just provided the bubble
material. Phil Gramm, Alan Greenspan, Clinton, Geightner, etc. all went
crazy reversing the laws Roosevelt put in place. This is what happens
when business is deregulated.

These people crashed the economy on purpose so they could destroy the

hit. People were wiped out. The whole time, rich people have been having
their taxes cut. This is wrong. This is how revolts get started.

The GREED of Wall Street (Big
Business) brought you the Great Recession that we are in.


Nah, it was the likes of Barney (give it to me in the ass) Frank.


Not true. It was actually a handful of people at a handful of
institutions making greedy (and stupid) decisions. 2 acts of Congress,
criminal behavior by Moody's and S&P and some below the radar "waivers"
created a derivatives bubble. Barney Frank just provided the bubble
material. Phil Gramm, Alan Greenspan, Clinton, Geightner, etc. all went
crazy reversing the laws Roosevelt put in place. This is what happens
when business is deregulated.

These people crashed the economy on purpose so they could destroy the
New Deal. We paid off AIG 100 cents to the dollar. Pension plans took a
hit. People were wiped out. The whole time, rich people have been having
their taxes cut. This is wrong. This is how revolts get started.


This time -- you are right . And MORE .

You are an embarrassment. Our current health care system kills 50,000
people a year. Minimum. And those are just the ones that never see the
inside of a doctor's office until it's too late.

You support doctors gaming the system while denying people care, so that
only the most profitable medicine is practiced? You think people should
get rich from other people getting sick? No moral issues there?

What do you mean "turn down more pre-existing
conditions"? Are you saying people with chronic conditions are denied
coverage? That is not my understanding. Medicare is like group health
insurance; they have to cover you.

Your problem is that you simply lack understanding and comprehension.

You are a mentally ill clown 'tard and it is you who need the voluntary
counselling.

Now go take your meds, Rickmers, and shut the hell up!

Lets not forget that when George "the Greatest Prez Ever" Bush was Governor
of Texas he signed the "Texas Advanced Directives Law" that brought the
life of Sun Hudson to an end after 6-months, because it wasn't
"economically feasible" to continue his respirator. MORE evidence that
rightards who love fetuses couldn't give a **** about them once they are
born.

Seeing as the new plan has not yet been implemented, this would
presume that you are referring to what we have 'today' -- Medicare
-- which does NOT deny coverage because of pre-existing conditions.

Can you give any examples of this -- or just 'urban legend'? What
specific "Government medical planS" (plural) are you referring to other
than Medicare? (although if not overtly stated before, I believe this
discussion was focused on either Medicare or the yet to be implemented
new government plan).

The only "Government medical plan" that I know of is Medicare. Like many
old geezers, at this stage in life, I have a few "pre-existing
conditions" and when I went on Medicare, I was truly amazed at how
transparent and seamless the transition to Medicare was. And no, none of
my pre-existing conditions were an issue under Medicare.

The righties give themselves away when they accuse their opposition of
doing weird off the wall stuff. They are "turning things around" they
call it. Just lie and say the other guy is doing what you're actually
guilty of.

If they talk "death panels" it's because they do "death panels".

Luckily the people are waking up. Fascists always lose once the people
wake up.
