    I never said I was against UHC? Where do I mention anything about free market anything? Free market doesnt do shit when monopolies are allowed to run rampant. I-am-pro-human-rights-above all. About the only thing I "agree with "on with capitalist is being pro personal property but only in the sense that the gov doesnt have a right to come and take your personal shit for no reason. That does not extend to businesses and monopolistic expanse of land ownership.

      regulate harshly and with a 50s style tax

      Isn’t this argument ‘free-market but with guardrails’ or did I misunderstand?

      What do you mean by “personal property”? That monopolistic land ownership is okay so long as it’s individuals not businesses?

        Im arguing that the system we do have has the tools to get closer to the ideal world most of us want. Not exactly pro-free market, but its the system we have and we should use it if its what we have.

        Regulation and heavy tax on the rich could do a lot for the proles. That in itself is pretty social, but its not as dramatic as marx would like.

        No man, I’m saying monoplies are bad but the government can’t seize citizens personal property for no reason and without compensation.

        I will disagree with a communist who says personal property shouldnt exist, but agree that businesses need to have their power and ownership regulated heavily
