I could swear you have advocated maximum profits, no controls, and leaving such things as worker safety to the marketplace. People would pay more for a company which treated it's workers better, you said.

I could swear you do not think the government should provide medical services to poor people. It's true you didn't say they should go without. Just that the only agency which is in a position to supply medical services shouldn't.

I could swear you said that under a communist system the Bolivian workers would have made the same amount and have been beaten if they protested, which would have been worse.

Hold still and I'll try to catch up. As it is, the cognitive dissonance is distressing. I can't believe what I know, what you've said, and for a challenged person such as myself, that's a strain.
