I never said that you weren't a US Citizen you moronic fuckface. But a Canadian started this thread, so I threw that in there....

"moronic fuckface"...... classy.

I never said that you said I was. In the words of Bugs Bunny, what a maroon.

Keep that point in mind.

Keep this point in mind - Those countries rely on the US to do their research in pharmaceuticals.

And because of that they have affordable drugs/treatments and we don't?

What's so special about America and being American that we automatically paymore for everything medical related?

It surely can't be because its better, otherwise medical mistakes, overcharges and malpractice wouldn't constantly happen....

I just want to say, thanks to everyone for making this the longest thread I've had so far. Very cool. :)

Can anybody tell me what is the average income in the US compared to Canada?

As of 2007 (where this data comes from), a family with 2 people or more is $71,900 in Canada. In the US it's approx. $50,000. I could be wrong on those...

As with the States...it varies up here too. I know where I come from....no one's making $72,000......more like....$35,000

I brought up my Citizenship to respond to a clueless non citizen. You had no reason to bring up yours, ass-hat. It's obvious from your past ignorant, left-wing rants, that you're a US citizen. Even if you do hate your country. (which you'll falsely deny)
