And while I have the soap box, I want to establish a new respect for the word Capitalism. That word was misconstrued and never reinvented since the 60's. "Damn the Capitalists!" well one fine example of capitalism is someone loving to play music, music of a specific genre, so much that they can quit their day job in their late 20's and travel around, support himself and be happy. The onslaught of communism would have tested him out of this possibility at 17.
BTW, I am also a communist at heart, humans just don't know how to swing it in government...yet.
I'd also like to add that just because you own a multi billion dollar company in 2007 doesn't mean that you a resistant to failure and making bad business choices like Amercan car companies did. This only means that the laws of Capitalism work.
Also, just because you're an American doesn't mean that you are owed a job for life, you're gonna have to work and be bright enough not to make cars that suck and make investments in shifty investment opportunities (AIG).
In the same breath, if there are any regulations to be put into place are guards against any monopolies especially in the medical industry including pharmaceutical companies and health insurance. Placing a cap on these industries would be like a pin in this disgusting balloon of over priced Health care, therefore making it affordable to all Americans to go see a doctor and HOLY CRAP a dentist, imagine that! No government money needed in this train of thought. I can pay a doctor 25 bucks a visit. I can afford 25 bucks for meds.
Speaking of Healthcare, the rise of unnecessary procedures and tests raises the floor of Healthcare costs and puts a nice bank roll into the laps of these sociopaths. I say sociopaths because any person and group of people that would take advantage of their patients or the parents of patients is by definition sociopathic. The cruelty of pharmaceutical companies'' mass media stronghold on the hearts of our people is demented. "Are you depressed, feel like giving up, just lost your job and feel there's no hope...then there is something wrong with you, ask your DOCTOR about Heroin, the new cure for Americas problems!
