Both socialism and …
Both socialism and communism empower the state to control lives and the distribution of wealth and scarce Resorces. Both systems disincentives the ability to create wealth and/or profit which ensures a limited supply at a low cost and that makes rationing manditory and usually will only go to A. The government and officials, or the rich and well connected. Liberals rail on this yet their policies creates the very scarcity In which liberal reject

” We have to do …
” We have to do what businesses and families do — we’ve got to cut out the things we don’t need to pay for the things we do” BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAA Yeah, right. This fool asks his Cabinet to cut costs in their departments by $100 million — a whopping .0027% and has the nerve to make comments like the above? I can’t wait to see him get voted out of office. His own VP said he wasn’t ready and that the country would fare better under McCain!

Simple …
Simple understanding of economics and all this is well understood. But asking a liberal communist to read or understand the principles of freedom and a free market is like holy water to Dracula!

I believe that the …
I believe that the State should control services like health care or child care. But people still have the right to choose their own doctors and schools. the only difference is that you don’t have to pay for it. But yes there will always be a private sector as an alternative to the public one, but that just improves the quality of the treatments. All I’m saying is that Unviversal Health Care is necessary for those who can’t afford insurance.

Yesm, but WHY do …
Yesm, but WHY do you believe that? And WHY should everyone in society be forced to do what you believe is right, via threat of violence?

Sop projecting your personal value judgments onto people with force.

I am all for global free access to health-care, but I’m not so stupid as to appeal to the state to provide it.

The state is terrible at service provision, because it is a violent monopoly. Achieve your aims through voluntary interaction, not death threats, that is the only sustainable way.

Yes, when the …
Yes, when the government takes peoples money it is extortion, it impinges your freedom.

How would you like it if your neighbor forced you to hand over a % of your income at gunpoint every year? It’s no different, the state is just a group of people.

So you think that …
So you think that your freedom is taken away from you because you have to pay more in taxes. You still have the choice to get treatment in the private hospitals. And private hospitals vs. public hospitals will create competition and secure your beloved free market.

You as a free man …
You as a free man should be able to either choose MY services for 20 or 30 bucks or go to the hospital and pay 1500-2000 dollars for the same thing. Government FORCES you via Regulation to take the high priced one because my business would not even Exist because of law and regulation. If I screw up and your cut gets infected I can be held liable ONLY if I was reckless and disregarded safety Procedures. and because of LAWS i would not be able to give you antibiotics.

ie Regulation, …
ie Regulation, makes it impossible for people to practice medicine. Tort laws, Education requirements, Degree requirements, Internship requirement, Payment Requirements, Patient requirements, Medical Requirement and mandates. If I know how to clean stitch someones cut because of Military Training or community College textbooks or whatever, I cannot BY LAW open a small shop to provide cleaning and stitching of wounds unless I had so many years of Training as required by law.
