go just a mile or so north of neyland and tell the homeless people how you feel. i'm sure they would agree with you.

So these constitute even 1% of our population and are the people we should base our economic system on? Those homeless people should be given a trip to other countries so they can witness real poverty.

Somewhat wrong on both accounts. I have learned I am more libertarian and completely disgusted with the Republican party as it stands now. I am not poor but I am not wealthy either. But understand how things should work.

Get them to nationalize the dairy industry while you are at it. Man ice cream is expensive. By the time I drive to the store buy my ice cream and the gas it took me to get there, probably spent $50.

Dairy farmers aren't making record profits. Most of them barely get by, and are being bought out by large corporations.

I think the govt needs to come in and establish costs, if your a specialist you make xxx dollars, a family practioner xxx dollars, etc. Same for the oil industry. I think this would be a better then what we have now. If this means some form of nationlizing them, I'm willing to listen.

Socialism is the answer? Please. Fuel will reach a price whereby domestic demand will decrease. We are in that process today. Oil remained cheap for years because of the oversupply generated by the shocks of the 70s.

what difference does that make in a debate about the merits of free markets vs. your ridiculous ideas about nationalizing oil markets.

I'm in favor of the govt stepping in to control costs. For example, setting doctor salaries 120k for a specialist, 160k for a neurosurgeion, 100k for a faimly practioner, etc. I haven't heard a good arguement against this. The same in the oil industry. If this is some form of nationalization of health care and oil companies I'm willing to hear both sides.

ha! Because you will drastically lower intelligent people going into those fields. And you will get an appointment about a year after you need one. 120k for a specialist? Are you kidding me? absolutely insane.

You are free to make as much money as you want. If you choose to not make very much, that is an acceptable choice.

Maybe people would go into those fields who really wanted to help people and not to make a lot of money wouldn't that be a thought?

Most healthcare systems in the rest world are nationalized. You think Doctors in India are not as intelligent as the ones in the U.S.? That hasn't deterred the brightest people from entering the field in those countries.

You poll the majority of Canadians they like their health care system. You poll the people in this country I think you might be surprised.

Or the whole economy. When that specialist is making 120K, he is not going to pay the poor people to build him a big house, wash his car and mow his lawn.
