It might help get elected to keep taxes low but sometime the piper will want to be paid his money!!!

Then I would just leave Phil.

And no doubt you will return to Australia where the economy is stable and the lifestyle is comparable.....Fair enough for an opportunist to seek opportunity in other people's stupidity I guess....It still beggars belief that the United States thinks that China will not bring their economy to its knees if they fail to address the debt they are incurring!!!

Why bring the economy to its knees when you can buy it cheap?

The Chinese can aggregate all its US Bond holdings into one company and leverage it 5 to 6 times. The Banks have been doing it for years

With the money they can buy whatever they want

Bill 14% is not the alcohol content of that wine. It's your poll number

When they own it all they will come knocking to get their money back....Anything can happen but rest assured the piper will come calling one day wont he Macca???

I bet you have lovely lawns inside that gated community, A.H - golf carts to drive around on, stairmasters in the gym.

Keeps the blacks out too.

What would you rather have - subsidised public housing or gated communities?

No need to bring race into it.
It's not 1961 Johannesburg.

It's just a regular community where house prices have appreciated and life is good.

Despite what some would have you believe.

To bring it back to the topic - we have no need for a private health rebate in the US BECAUSE we are able to fund our own healthcare due to lower taxation.

Why would I get my own healthcare but also have to fund some deadbeat who pays in nothing?
How is that fair on me?

Well, they have this thing called epidemiology and public health, A.H. It became popular after the Spanish Influenza of 1911.

The theory is that many diseases are contageous. If you don't treat the deadbeats, the rest of the population gets sick.

Yes, you and I know it's just the doctors trying to create a nanny state and gain control, but try telling them that.

They give you all these reasons why you shouldn't let the deadbeats drop dead, their corpses left to attract the flies.

The politicians give in to them every time.

I'm not surprised you aren't keen on coming back, you're in a country that is infamous for sucking up the a*se of high income earners.

Yes, but you'll need a stint in parliament before you can get into the lucrative consulting work, Matty.

No, I will be earning over $200,000 from what I am studying now. It has nothing at all to do with Parliament.
