I'm sure ... ( 5 months ago by andersoncouncil65)
I'm sure corporations are here to empower people, right? The govt will provide universal healthcare eventually b/c of a little thing called democracy. Some people want to move past economic oppression.
If you recall, ... ( 5 months ago by bbburton)
If you recall, corporations are treated like persons before the law. Democracy is a process used to elect officials by the people. The Constitution guarantees a republican form of gov. Liberty, freedom, and pursuit of happiness are those things gov's are instituted to protect and defend, not economies. You need to get a better spin.
"To each according ... ( 5 months ago by fortycalsig)
"To each according to his need, from each according to his ability." -Karl Marx
As you already know, this attitude is a recipe for tyranny.
If one institution ... ( 5 months ago by fortycalsig)
If one institution controls the allocation of payments, the consumer can no longer "vote with their dollars," and no longer cares about value received for money spent. This is too much a problem already, and gravely contributes to the inflation of health care prices (i.e. costs).
The outrageous ... ( 5 months ago by fortycalsig)
The outrageous amount of paperwork about which you rightly complain is in direct proportion to the complexity of the regulatory environment. Pursuing complete regulation, in the form of a so called "single-payer" system, is to maximize the bureaucratic inefficiency of such a system.
Democracy is more ... ( 5 months ago by andersoncouncil65)
Democracy is more then just elections. Some authorities do try to demoralize democracy saying it will lead to the tyranny of the majority. If democracy was just elections, Iraq would be just as democratic as America.
If you want freedom, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, why not allow all to have access to healthcare irregardless of wealth or income? How is that not freedom? What freedom is there under insurance companies telling us how healthcare is to be?
Is that democracy ... ( 5 months ago by andersoncouncil65)
Is that democracy to you: "vote with their dollars"? If that is so, the Rockefellers have a lot more votes then me. Democracy can occur through the public deciding how healthcare is to operate. Currently the majority want healthcare not to be based on one's wealth (and have for some time). That one institution is responsible to the public at large, not shareholders.
The paperwork is ... ( 5 months ago by andersoncouncil65)
The paperwork is due to bureaucracy which is greater when private. America's healthcare system is more expensive then any other nation's.
I'm only talking ... ( 5 months ago by andersoncouncil65)
I'm only talking about healthcare. Karl Marx has be disproven but not b/c of Russia and other nations (if you understood him you would no that it didn't make philosophical sense for these weak nations to go communist; even Marx publicly commented Russia was the worst place in Europe for communism), but by philosophers b/c structural philosophy is flawed. Marx is more radical then me. Afterall, he wanted no government (communism was to only be a transition into anarchy).
I believe you're ... ( 5 months ago by fortycalsig)
I believe you're conflating politics with economics.
It doesn't matter ... ( 5 months ago by fortycalsig)
It doesn't matter what area you're talking about--a free market will work better than a regulated one. It will produce more innovation and drive down costs.
Communism doesn't work in a "weak" country, because "weak" countries can't support the dead weight of centralized command-and-control economics.
There are many ... ( 5 months ago by fortycalsig)
There are many points on which Marx' thinking is internally inconsistent. If Marx was indeed a crypto-anarchist, he certainly chose a strange "transition" mechanism in the polar opposite that is communism.
Democracy is a way ... ( 5 months ago by andersoncouncil65)
Democracy is a way people run a society. Both politics and economics affects the way a society functions. Democracy is an important concept in an economy.
Don't confuse ... ( 5 months ago by andersoncouncil65)
Don't confuse Leninism and Stalinism with Marxism. Marx was a philosopher and an economist, not a political scientist. Lenin's task was to find a way for communism to be run while convincing Marxist that communism did not have to come from capitalism--in structural philosophy the order of events is extremely important b/c they believe things work in sequences (anarchy> tribalism> feudalism> capitalism> communism> anarchy).
By weak, I was ... ( 5 months ago by andersoncouncil65)
By weak, I was referring to third world nations that have yet to undergo industrialization.
Marxism is flawed b/c it is dogmatic. They thought they figured out all the theoretical implications of economics and all it had to do was be implemented. Friedman economics (which you seem to advocate) is just as dogmatic, only on the other side of the spectrum.
"Movement ... ( 3 months ago by siebelseibel76)
"Movement conservatives in their last throes."
-I love it.
Having the ... ( 3 months ago by lhorton1222)
Having the government collude with business is neither a free market or competitive. Centralization in the end is centralization. Or as Krugman points out, there is no proof that private bureaucracy works better than government bureaucracy. at least as regards health care.
