America's Founding Fathers set up a Constitutional Republic to avoid the grotesque spectacle we are witnessing today. But thanks to President Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, that Constitutional Republic has ended and we now live in a mob-rule Democracy.
Indeed, even the Ancient Greeks understood that unbridled Democracy is the worst form of government.

I'm curious why so many American people seem to be against universal health care.
I'm from Canada and I love that no matter what I can take my daughter to the doctor's and not worry about it, nor do I have to worry about making some crazy insurance payment when I am jobless (note: I'm not, but everyone's been there).
I also love that it didn't cost me a dime to have my daughter. I walked in with my pregnant fiance and walked out with my daughter.
EDIT: I may have misunderstood, but I am curious as it seems to be something I hear a lot.
