It is a scary thought, but our country will be taking one more step towards totalitarianism if we move forward with "universal healthcare" i implore anyone who disagrees with this concept to read chapter 5 "Planning and Democracy" of Hayek's The Road to Serfdom

In short...
"The common goal of labor and all others is given as the common objective of socialism. This implies that non-socialists societies don't have a common objective. However, Hayek states that the common objective, different from liberalism and individualism, is for society's resources to be unified, and to reject the perceived individual supremacy. The terms general welfare and common good mean different things to different people. The assumption that all needs could be ranked means that there is an ethical code. Nevertheless, people do not have common views about things and there is no reason to think that they should. Hayek makes the point that there is no such ethical code

I have that book. It was given to me by my parents to read.


It's pure garbage.

It's OK. You can say you just can't come to terms with a black man being President.

That just prolongs their inevitable demise; leeching tax dollars along the way.

Let them rot in the street. Trash crews are cheaper than surgical teams and pharmaceuticals.

Right, that's what you want to see in our streets, poor people all over the place, like New York City in the late 70's and early 80's.
