> The shocking truth: Australia has a world-leading health system — because of governments

In the US, government is elected by people. You can't blame a gvt for not doing what it hasn't been mandated to do.




Hilarious .. next you'll be saying the two party sink-hole the US electoral system gravitated into is representative of the population at large.

Are you touring with this material, or is it off the cuff standup?


When did the people specifically asked for this kind of system?


The people have never specifically asked for anything, because we're not a direct democracy and we don't have federal referenda. What does that matter?


We get the government we deserve.
