    I agree with you on principle, but the problem lies with low wages and the habit of companies like Wal-Mart of keeping their employees part-time, un-unionized, and reliant on government assistance. If you want to take the steps to increase the minimum wage to a decent living wage and improve workers' rights then I'm 100% behind you. As far as health care goes, the first thing we need to do is end discrimination based on pre-existing conditions and genetic risk. I don't think socialism is perfect, but it would improve the standard of living across the board.

    I'm so glad that I can *choose* which health-care provider to go to, which means that I have a choice between *0* different health-care programs that I can afford.

    Dude, don't be dissing FOX, they're on your side! Where else are you going to find conservotard pundits with no basis in reality? Also, don't be dissing socialism. Is there any other word that so perfectly describes the government subsidies for oil, chemical, and pharmaceutical companies? Oh! And now you can add BANKS to that list of businesses that Republicans have donated buckets of taxpayer cash to.
