I don't have any evidence either way but I'd assume that some amount of the fuel tax etc goes to road maintenance and improvement, and some goes to other parts of the government which could easily include healthcare and emergency services. I'd also expect this to vary from nation to nation. | ||

That depends on the healthcare. I'm pretty certain it doesn't in most cases. | ||

Apart from that, you'd have to find an objective way of determining when someone is healthy/what caused it. This is of cours ealready discarding all the advantages of publicly founded healthcare. | ||

It depends on how it's calculated I suppose but from what I can gather it's quite believable that it's at least above. EDIT: Typically these numbers seem to be pulled out of the hat and bullshit though, so you'd have to keep that in mind. There's a bunch to take into consideration. | ||

If you've ever had a gf sing that song at you 100+ times you wouldn't think of alternatives. Does one eyed jack refer to a fairy tale? | ||
