I don’t think the system has gotten anymore equal. If anything it’s gotten a little more unequal.

Poor people have to pay $400 for general care in an emergency room is ridiculous.

The reason Ron Paul is so popular, is that he is popular with a Majority of people.

The other reason he is so popular with the Majority, is he is ‘unpopular’ with the minority that is polled.

He is also a threat to the military industrial complex and its propaganda wing, the main stream media, and the people are standing up to say, we are ready for Ron Paul, the constitution and real change.

Forced Morals Never Work. When You Force Health Care, The CARE Will Not Exist Anymore.

The Government Does Nothing Well.

Yet, at the same time, elective cosmetic surgery, and LASIK, are trending downwards in price (while constantly improving in quality).

Could it be that competition actually works?

If the government was in charge of our vision, we’d all have horn-rimmed glasses and the inventor of LASIK would have been prohibited from practicing, as a protectionist measure that the eyeglass makers would get written into law.

The health care system in the country has certainly not gotten worse since the government got involved. The number and kinds of ailments that can be treated successfully has skyrocketed since the early 70s.

Ah, yes. Worse, but more equal.

Liberty Anthem
by Duce Suber

Secure our borders
With a presidents orders
Deport them all
Before we fall

Kill the fed
Off with its head
Or wait in line
For a piece of bread

Save our money
WE KNOW ITS FUNNY!
This is getting old
Lets get back to gold

Lose the mainstream
their not on our team
To listen to Hannity
Is just plain insanity.

Down with the establishment
Its just our entanglement
Vote for liberty
It whats meant to be

Wake up America!
Where have you been?
Take a look at congress
We have lions in our den

Peace and Prosperity
Is not where it ought to be
We fight in Iraq
But its time
To bring America back.

Ron Paul is for us All
Just as Jefferson saw,
Vote for America
Vote for us ALL.

Indeed, anything the federal government has thrown money at (i.e. education, health care) has gotten so expensive. Thank god the government isn’t into electronics. Can you imagine how much flat screen TVs and DVD players would cost if they trended the same way as health-care?.

This is how it works:
1. Government forcibly collects your taxes.

2. Government central planners decide where to spend your money, by-passing market pressures all together.

3. Not worrying about where the funds will come from (the IRS has machine guns), these companies who benefit from government largess get increasingly slovenly and greedy. These companies who would normally be sent packing by free-market competition, are now free to suck (and pass the sucking on to you, the consumer).
4. People like Mitt Romney and H-bomb Clinton dream of even more thorough ways to subvert the free-market, because of course this will be better in the end (for the salivating HMOs).

Whenever this type of thing is considered, don’t think how the market failed, but think how we failed the market. Sure the market can be scary at times, and it is not perfect by any means, but nothing is perfect, and its the best we have.

Go Ron!
