Re: We weren't discussing socialized medicine.
Sure Tom. And any form of social welfare, will automatically steer us in this direction.
If your ludicrous comparison was even remotely true, then all socialized states would be tyrannies, and the more socialized a state was the more tyrannical it would be. And states with no social services at all, like Haiti, would be all be Democratic paradises.
No Tom, all your phony historical comparisons are devised to cover up the fact that you simply cannot abide the idea of anyone seeing a doctor or going to school on your tax dollar.
Just think, if I had been born in a country like that I'd probably be working for someone who felt that way. So would you, come to think of it.
