I'll give you an alternate hypothesis. A British colony with a dominant British culture makes a successful nation when it becomes independent. Hence the United States, Canada, and Australia. Hong Kong deserves further analysis, but it has never become independent. Vietnam and Haiti, having been French colonies, don't have the underlying culture (of human rights properly defined) and thus failed as nations. Spanish and Portugese colonies (all of South and Central America except Belize (and French Guiana which is still a colony)) are all failures in comparison to the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
Rare earths include scandium and yttrium in addition to the lanthanides.
Car and automobile are used interchangeably, but... car can also refer to a railroad car, and by stretching common usage a bit automobile refers to all self propelled land vehicles large enough to carry a person. Although if you refer to a motorcycle or a garbage truck as an automobile, you'll only confuse people.
To reinforce your point: We call it the federal government because it was intended to be a federation, a form of government one aspect of which is a state maintaining control over its internal affairs.
Calling Obamacare a Republican plan is either dishonest or ignorant. It was passed without a single Republican vote.
There's some limited sense in 1-7, but... .......Medical care is a public good.
Not to the person receiving it. Not to the person providing it. .......Its not something people have a choice in consuming.
Elective surgery. Choosing to ride out a sickness rather than seeing a doctor. Not getting flu shots. Not using Bandaids(TM) or BenGay(TM). Lots of medical things are a matter of choice.
------It cannot be left to the private sector
It must not be put into the hands of bureaucrats who don't give a rat's ass about whether you suffer or die.
The American Medical Association controls accreditation at US schools, limiting the supply. The AMA also strongly influences state laws about who can claim to be a medical doctor, and the penalty for practicing medicine without a license. That's the medical monopoly, and it works to make medical care much more expensive than it should be due to supply/demand effects.
Then there's the problem of third parties making the payments, which removes the patient's incentive to economize and the doctor's incentive not to pad a bill the patient never sees. With state and federal government setting regulations, getting fees and supplying subsidies, that's 4th and 5th parties. The patient and doctor both have much reduced control of both the finances and the treatment. FUBAR.
Not that there's any forgiving Romney, but Romney's plan was to cut off an even worse plan proposed by Massachusetts Democrats. Kind of like committing suicide so that you won't be murdered.
You are a liar. Trump's own people advised him not to release his tax documents while they were being audited by the IRS. That's what any responsible advisor would do. He did not claim that the IRS prevented him from releasing them.
Most states have had over 100 years to get their laws right. If a new law is so bad that it repeatedly fails to get a majority vote, it shouldn't pass.
As it stands now, only people with lots of money and connections can be around the lawmakers when they're about to vote on a bill, or afford to buy lobbyists to be around the lawmakers as they're about to vote on a bill.
If this proposition goes into effect, millions of people can see the bill that's about to be voted on, in addition to those mentioned in the previous paragraph. Then any of all those millions of people can email their legislators and newspapers, and call radio stations and television stations, or even drive to the capitol and march about with a big sign.
Now, which possibility gives John Q. Public more ability to discourage bad legislation?
The US is currently being invaded. There are currently about 15 million foreign soldiers in the US, all out of uniform. They are popularly known as "illegal aliens". They are here, in the words of Thomas Jefferson, "to harass our people and eat out their substance."
Riders and other modifications can only be made by majority vote. If the majority wants the bill to pass, it can quash changes. This proposition brings two advantages, disclosing sneakiness and exposing errors to many eyes (like Linux).
Generally, college students attending college not in their home state, are ignorant of both principles and local issues. They are callow. They should not be voting in the college state. Their motive is almost always emotional, and their goal is to hurt people of accomplishment.
The right wing is dominantly middle class.
Right wingers don't complain that the government is broken when it's doing nothing. They complain when it's breaking people and stealing things, which is the goal of leftist programs.

She gets 90%. The government gets 40% or more in taxes. Where does that leave you?

"Basically nothing" is freedom, the opposite of Obama.
"Government paid" is an oxymoron.

Let's see.

Regulations are added so fast that you'd either have to be a speed reader or spend all your time reading to read them all - it's over 250 pages a day.

Apparently you think a hobby is not a part of a purpose.
You don't have to have a grand purpose, but the satisfaction of doing something well helps.
Anytime I hear phrases like "illusion of self", I know I'm in the presence of someone who wants to destroy.

Your post is full of internal contradictions.
What a splendid use for a wide bandwidth white noise generator.
Why don't you ask Susette Kelo?
