Fine, then - make it a dollar, or a buck fifty - five dollars, maybe. The point is, if EVERYBODY gave a small chunk of change a year, it would pay for a hell of a lot. And if this WAS worldwide, then the 'one cent per person' thing WOULD work - China alone could pay for a staggering amount of stuff. Anyway, I wasn't talking about the national debt - I was talking about paying for health care. If there were an extra sixty million dollars floating around to pay for expensive operations and the like, a lot more people would be much better off.
