The end is in sight

In a command-and-control economy EVERYONE suffers to a GREATER degree.

That's because of government interference with the Free Market principles that would have kept prices sane.

Thanks, Rich

Except that I'm talking about countries where the government (ie; the taxpayer) funds 100% (or close to it) of health care cost, & does it for half the total price that you pay in the USA. And I seriously doubt that our politicians & public servants are any better than yours.

That's a bumper sticker, not an argument.

I'm sorry that sometimes the truth is so clear and obvious that it can be expressed with such clarity and conciseness.

Not like masterful speechifying, which Brother Barack seems to be so _damnably_ good at! ;-)

He's almost as good of a snake oil salesman as Brother Al - the kind of guy who, when you shake his hand, you want to count your fingers.

Thanks, Rich

Well, of course socialism works in countries where people prefer the illusion of security to the power to direct one's own life.

In America, we're supposed to be Human Beings, not herds of obedient servants.

Thanks, Rich

If you want to be taken seriously, argue the facts, not the ideology.

That's all very well, but you're still arguing ideology, not the facts.
