Pieter,

***Kaczynski however I considered a reactionary conservative meir of Warsaw, and I did'nt like the power of twins. But I can totally understand that traditional Poles, Catholics, farmers***

there are primary and secondary issues in politics. The right wing in America wants to win the public opinion by showing that "liberals" are for abortion and guy marriages. Maybe these issues are important for some people, but sorry for me - this is not of a main importance in the politics.

On the other hand - the conservatives forget that at least American liberals are for health care for everybody and also for keeping or even expanding social benefits and THESE ISSUES ARE IMPORTANT.

I believe that majority of people, at least these educated who were voting for Kaczynski - were voting for him not because he is "better" catholic than Tusk but becuase they were worried for losing some social protection offered by government, they were worrying for privatization of the health services. Tusk was also for a flat tax, I was suporting Tusk more but I was worried for these issues. Here in America low taxes really help the rich, I can understand if they help businesses but I do not like if they help the businesses to the extend that the business tries to help their CEO millions of dollars in the profit. Does it make any sense that some people earn millions of dollars when the rest barely survives on a daily basis?

by the way - I am curious a bit about the health care in Holland - is it free, is it socialized? Does it operate a bit like German healthcare?
