Govt Health Care

Tax supported national health care programs are a really horrible idea..

Why should responsible citizens who eat right, exercise, and take care of themselves have to bear the same burden of the national bill as those who smoke, drink, and eat like shit?

The beauty of the free enterprise system and a free market, is that people's actions affect THEM.  Having the community foot the bill for people's health care is a departure from a society with a healthy respect for individual accountability.

Good job proving total ignorance, >>14. It's quite amazing how well you've stuffed your foot in your mouth; googling is no substitute for understanding.

Here, let me help you a little: "No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."

Do you not see the parallel here? This is where we came from, and this is where the unfettered capitalists will have us go. Why does social contract even exist? Why do I have to spell out the obvious? Hello?

As for Rousseau, some of his writing had a major impact on Western political philosophy. "Rousseau's ideas didn't work" is so bullshit it hurts. Shit, google totally failed you there.
