Reaper, just a smaller scale of what happens in most if not all governments.
Just think if the US was not playing the World's policeman and taking over nations (GWB today, "I believe we will win in Irag", sounds confident and still justifying the war three years later) how much tax dollars would be saved. US Citizens (like my relatives) would not have to work until May of each year - JUST to pay THEIR TAXES! Imagine how much more money they could spend on vacation in countries like Belize (no less invest in prime oceanfront real estate)!
Reaper, I like you comment about the drug runners. Kinda ironic when you think about it. Thinking is a good thing to do before speaking, or in this case posting. If the 10% of the World's populations (the US) didn't consume 80% of the all the illegal drugs produced GLOBALLY, there wouldn't be drug runners (spuring abuse) in Belize.
FYI: Emergency medicine is a tiny part of healthcare (relating to an earlier post).
Hey but who am I to judge, just 2/3 of the US feels GWB IS NOT DOING HIS JOB. They must hate the US also, nah, probably just it's evil ruler.
Chris, why only Iraq and not these other poor nations, oh I forgot, they don't mean shit to GWB, no money in it and Congress wouldn't aprove it cause' they aint got no WMD, but neither did Iraq, vexing??
When everyone in the US is working, above the poverty level and healthy - then I can see them assisting others to copy their democtatic way of life.
