Sujet: Re: what I consider to be a better understanding of the world & politics,
The Usurper: Getting ahead, having opportunities to improve one's social and financial condition, becoming independent, is a far cry from simply getting free health care. You cannot point to any country or system that has a track record of lifting millions of people from poverty to prosperity like a free market economy. Only a free market system has a history that can do that. Redistributing the wealth does not lift people out of poverty. And you can't show any socialist system that has done so. Pointing to free health care is a meaningless point.
