[QUOTE="mindlight, post: 75140788, member: 21246"] When Americans talk about the radical left and rampant socialism I often wonder what they mean and what they are so scared of. If indeed you mean the kind of totalitarian control. thought police and impoverishment of the old Soviet Union then you would have a case. But if you are referring to the idea of for example a National Health Service then I completely disagree. America spends twice as much on health as major European countries for NO extra benefit. Indeed American life expectancy is lower and many Americans have found themselves facing the current Pandemic without a job to pay insurance and without a systematic and comprehensive health coverage. That Americans have been slowly and quietly growing sicker and sicker over time is abundantly clear with rampant obesity and the cancers, heart issues and diabeties that come with that. So somebody who proposes a national health care system in America is not advocating Soviet oppression and impoverishment but rather more freedoms for poorer Americans. less insecurity about health and more money in your pockets at the end of the day. Why should the executives of large pharmaceutical , or health care providers rake in millions when many Americans are on the bread line. Why should they massively inflate costs in your system and be allowed to get away with that? Regarding the radical left on political correctness and being the mouth piece of the gay lobby and extreme feminists you may well have a point that is not the kind of people you want in charge of the country. But a paralysed government cannot do anything about the major issues facing the USA today [/QUOTE]
