There's no "Myth" about it..

It's a huge myth. You should read the article about prisons costing more in Florida thanks to privatization. Our private health care system is why ours is the most expensive in the world, and doesn't even serve everyone. That's a fact. You can bitch and throw up smoke, but it's a fact that we pay much, much more for health care than any other country in the world. The WHO proved it in their studies; numerous universities have proved it. If you privatize all that shit on the list, you can be 100 percent guaranteed that either taxes will go up or deficit spending will go up, or a combination of the two.

And unions are a separate issue. There could still be unions under privatization, and they should be dealt with fairly. Good unions help workers get paid what they're worth. I agree unions should not be allowed to gouge, but their existence is a good thing overall.

I'm not interested in your biased, liberal TV programs either.

You're not interested in the truth. If you were, you could watch the clips with an objective attitude and judge them based on their ideas, not by a simplistic "liberal" label. That's one of the extreme right's favorite cop-outs. Don't evaluate the ideas based on their merit, just slap an easy label like "liberal" or "socialist" (often incorrectly) in order to dismiss it. It's a lazy way to debate, but sometimes it works because people often shut off their brains as soon as they hear those words.

I grow weary of angry parasites grumbling about the thriftiness of their host..

Actually, I'm grateful for your running this site, but the fact that you pay the bills for it does not obligate me to agree with you. It would be pretty boring if every post I wrote just said, "I agree with you, J Hoffa." I try to do a good job getting my views across based on what they really are, not what I think will make others happy.
