Hey, that's capitalism.

Seriously, has anyone ever heard of health insurance? Something that I
wouldn't leave home without. Maybe you people have forgotten what
the whole purpose of capitalism is. I think it would nice to note at
this point the *ideal* communism is when all support the welfare of
every one else. I won't say that ideal communis is bad, but it seems
that there are enough hard-nose, out and out Republicans in this group
to make the idea unattractive. How about if we just quit arguing about
what the government is supposed to give us and what it isn't. If the
government is supposed to "give" us everything that some arbitrary
person decides we "need" then why don't we all just say that the
government supports all of us, that they are the great provider, that we
are all government employees. Is this what you want to say?
