"Most Seniors I've talked to are against allowing anybody to come into the country with little or no incentive to pay taxes. This is much different than being against immigration." http://news.yahoo.com/poll-senior-citizens-league-77-seniors-oppose-obama-040040880.html http://news.yahoo.com/poll-senior-citizens-league-77-seniors... Apparently they're against the President's immigration reforms. Taxes is one issue of immigration. These people will be paying payroll taxes when working legally. Most Americans (especially older folks) would not do the work immigrants are coming to the US for. Unfortunately I don't have polls for the Iraq war stuff. I just have examples I have encountered in my life. As far as universal health care is concerned, it has been adopted by practically every first world country besides the US. Taiwan in the not too distant past offered universal health care and the main lesson they said they learned from the US was, not to them. Older folks have an incentive to not have universal health care for everyone. They already have it or will have it soon. Giving it to everybody would decrease the quality of care for medicare. Most people that have looked into this issue have come to the conclusion that a single payer system works the best. There would need to be a lot of evidence to overcome the overwhelming evidence in favor of universal health care. Care to elaborate why the US shouldn't have it?
