[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 582931, member: 2189"] Along those same lines are 2 articles you might also enjoy. The first is from the Washington Examiner by Tim Carney on the fact that the [URL="http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columns/Down-with-the-health-insurers-8102155-53146107.html"][COLOR=red]Insurance industry[/COLOR] [/URL]really isn't our friend (those who believe in free market, laissez faire) and IMO Tim did a good job too. The 2nd is from Hans Hoppe, professor emeritus of economics at UNLV and one of those evil Austrian, anarcho-libertarian anarchist types (God Bless him :happy-very:) who wrote out his own [URL="http://mises.org/story/3643"][COLOR=red]4 Step Healthcare Plan of America[/COLOR][/URL]. I'm not holding my breath that either party will follow it however among and along with many other of his economic ideas, he is dead on the money IMO. BTW AV: Good post and link! Thanks. Since you are dipping your toe towards the "darkside" and rightly pointing out the illusion of the Free Market in America and one half of the maxium, "Welfare and Warfare are the Health of the State" why not consider also turning over the other head of the 2 headed [URL="http://www.lewrockwell.com/kwiatkowski/kwiatkowski96.html"][COLOR=red]Leviathan[/COLOR][/URL] in allowing the [URL="http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig4/buppert4.html"][COLOR=red]free market to answer the nations military needs?[/COLOR][/URL] If something like healthcare, cars, food, housing, computers, etc. etc. are all available better outside the hands of the state and in the hands of a true free market, then isn't it time we took a hard look using free market principles at the [URL="http://mises.org/etexts/defensemyth.pdf"][COLOR=red]Myth of National Defense[/COLOR][/URL]? If you take the position that the State can only provide for the common defense (socialism IMO) then you just opened the door IMO for the otherside to argue the State's position on/in other areas (the other socialism) language of the Constitution be damned!
