Should Police Officers get paid for how many "perps" they arrest?
Edited on Sun Dec-07-03 08:34 PM by JanMichael
Or should Firefighters get paid for every fire they put out?

Perhaps Code Enforcement Officers should get paid for ever violation?

Maybe Paramedics should get paid per life they save?

Oh! Perhaps Doctors and Nurses should only get paid for the lives they save! Or illnesses they cure! Or brand name pharmacuticals they prescribe! Or number of patients they see per hour...

Yeah.</rhetorical questions>

2. Presidents should be paid...
...by how many jobs they create, how many people have health insurance and how many days the country is at peace while they reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Av. They should not get paid while they are on vacation.

4. I guess I'm just tired of the privatisation crap that I hear so much about
As well as the fact that I believe that we should have a Single Payer Health Care system.

There are things that simply don't lend themselves well to For Profit execution. Especially Executions!

5. Something just occured to me regarding the point...Isn't it ridiculous?
To say what I said in jest is absurd to most people here. Yet what I've described, in an acknowledged exaggerated way, with these nutty proposals is probably not far off from being plotted right now in some sick repuke policy advisors mind.
