Libtards are always going on about how European countries provide all their people with health care, and other benefits that this nasty, cruel country we live in won't do and that we should be more like them. Yeah, well, maybe not:

The entire article is astounding, and really short, so if I posted all the quotes from the article that I thought were really interesting, the whole thing would be up here and that's copyright infringement, so follow the link. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure that we don't need to follow the lead of our European cousins on this shit. Barry, take note.
