@TheZajac123 Are you missing the point that there still is a government. I view that men shouldn’t be forced to do things against their free-will. Well people should rely on themselves to succeed without thinking of how the government can protect them. I am mainly against charity/welfare because, I view altruism as an evil. Now the BP incident, they weren’t thinking rationally because, they didn’t want to pay for inspections and they fucked themselves over because of it.

@TheZajac123 What about the different airlines, for it is the airlines who crash the planes usually and people already choose such airlines based on how much they cost. Brand loyalty only remains if the product remains good, for do you remember “new coke.”

Libertarians “shouldn’t be forced to do things against their free-will,” true. Except in a modern democratic capitalist, socialist, liberal society if you are unhappy and not prepared to except the democratically arrived at laws and standards within that society you are free to leave, free to peaceably demonstrate against those laws you object to. Free to stand in elections and chance those laws. Free to show the courage of your convictions free to break those laws and take the consequences

@TheZajac123

lol you are right they don’t give back at all…..oh wait i think the top 5 percent of people pay for over 50% of our income taxes, but that isn’t enough is it? lets take all of their money……..better yet why don’t we take everyones income and just split it up evenly regardless of what they do for a living etc etc

@davijeph I’m guessing you are replying to me. But, you combined socialist with capitalism, and those don’t go together. The only laws in an objective society are laws against violence, coercion, and initiation of force. I don’t seek an armed conflict, for that is violence without purpose and is what objectivist oppose to.

All democratic western nations are a combination of capitalism, socialism,and liberalism only the mixer of the parts will be different to each Nation not the components. In excepting to be a citizen of those Nations you by default except the laws, rules and norms of that society or Nation. if you are not willing to except those laws you are free to leave it and choose another Nation. No Nation or society can survive if all individuals are allowed to live by only their own rules, result anarchy.

Public health is the term.
Works great here in Australia. You poor americans are a laughing stock in other developed nations.
I read that 50% of bankruptcies in the USA caused by medical bills? Ridiculous!

Really can’t see how people can be so resistant to something that is for the benefit of ALL. Being dependent on a profit obsessed industry? Very scary.

As an outside observer, it seems to me that government run socialised medicine is never going to acceptable to many Americans and it’s never going to happen.
