Nah. Not to Republicans. Everything is about the dollar and how much they can squeeze out of the less fortunate/environment.

Triiz, take a second here to admire the beauty of America's health care system. Like all systems of control, it has been carefully designed so that the serfs are placed in a local maximum where we lose if we fail to comply, but also in a global minimum where there is huge net transfer of wealth to the pharmaceutical companies (Obamacare was basically written by the health care industry). It would be easy for Americans to fix our health care system, but we don't.
  • What's the fix?
  • Why don't we do it?
Also, the cancer survival rate was one thing I googled around for a bit. This blog post is an easy to read table representation of one of those 'sciency' papers. I'd guess that Britain is doing a bit better (or the US is doing worse) in the 2010s. Anyway, as I stated I am not defending our health care system. I just think that a true free market solution would blow socialized medicine out of the water. No one would be without health care, as the market would meet all price points (except people unwilling to work, of course, and I am not overly concerned there).
Why do courts keep facilitating these monopolies, not to mention the FTC, when both are controlled by Republicans? I’d argue Democrats are closer to wanting free markets at this point. Not that I support them. Immigration is the only issue that matters, but I don’t see why libertarians like yourself are so OK with monopolies that stifle competition

There's no moral argument for being 'for' illegal immigration, just a fools argument that doesn't understand logistics and practicality.

Morality and money though. I struggled with this when taking a position on Amazon in NY. By what logic is Jeff Bezos owed tax breaks and not the little guy trying to start a humble business? I've had a hard time taking a position on this one because in a practical sense it's great for tax payers and home owners and people looking for good jobs in the area. In another sense I can't reconcile while rich AF Jeff Bezos is owed a tax break and no business people that are struggling.

Roofers, deck builders, landscapers and other semi-skilled but non red-seal trades commonly make $20/hour in countries that have tight controls on their immigration. That has a huge effect on the overall economy
Good post bud. This type of socialist thinking is why Sanders was less brain dead than 88% of people left of center

Matthew 19:24 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

Valuing money over morality is anti-christ like behavior sir, get with Jesus
