Participant[quote=Arraya]ATLAS SHRIEKED: AYN RAND’S FIRST LOVE AND MENTOR WAS A SADISTIC SERIAL KILLER WHO DISMEMBERED LITTLE GIRLS
There’s something deeply unsettling about living in a country where millions of people froth at the mouth at the idea of giving health care to the tens of millions of Americans who don’t have it, or who take pleasure at the thought of privatizing and slashing bedrock social programs like Social Security or Medicare. It might not be as hard to stomach if other Western countries also had a large, vocal chunk of the population who thought like this, but the US is seemingly the only place where right-wing elites can openly share their distaste for the working poor. Where do they find their philosophical justification for this kind of attitude?It turns out, you can trace much of this thinking back to Ayn Rand, a popular cult-philosopher who plays Charlie to the American right-wing’s Manson Family. Read on and you’ll see why.[/quote]
I see who’s frothing at the mouth. Having taken the oath several times in my life to protect and defend the constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic, I take umbrage with those who seek to destroy the foundational principles of our nation for mere do-gooding. If the plight of the poor vexes you, vote with your checkbook, but leave your neighbor’s be.

Participant[quote=danielwis]I don’t want to live in a country where 40 million do not have health care, and in 10 years 60 million do not have health care. I do not want to live in a country where social unrest breeds do to increasing numbers of disaffected people, without health care, and without adequate work/pay to put a roof over their head.[/quote]
In that case sir, I suggest you choose a direction and head in it.

ParticipantActually, Ucodegen didn’t quite “nail it”. This is a huge powergrab by the American Left and their toadies and stooges for 1/6 of the US economy.
Having experienced the best of socialized medicine in the military, I remember what it was like before the Reagan budgets kicked in, and the Battalion Aid Station sometimes even ran out of aspirin. Having my wisdom teeth pulled by a doc in a quonset hut with no assistant, and being handed four Tylenols; taking pot-luck in the delivery room when each of my children were born; and being covered head-to-toe with poison oak, and being handed a bottle of calamine.
Those are the realities of a government run system. Everything will be provided for, but nothing will be available. Your caregiver will be one who is willing to work in that environment. Good Luck, comrades.
