  1. Trump's already doing a great job representing "working people." So what's Saunders talking about? Further... Bernie fails to mention how many Americans have died, because they DID use what is often misrepresented as "health care," rather than sickness management for control and profit. So who then, does Sanders purport to support with his policies? Big Pharma? The question is not... "How do we feed the world," or, "How do we provide better health care," but rather, "How do we empower and teach the people's of the world, including the American people, how to feed themselves and take responsibility for learning how to take care of their own health? The main reasons are, social-ism, is an ideology of victimhood, entitlement and dependency.

  2. What Bernie proposes, is not rights, but dependencies and pretexts for extortion. Health Care, is not a "right," but a responsibility. No system, can take responsibility for anyone's health. Indeed, if the people fail to take responsibility for their own health, the system, which is a business model, will manage your sickness. See... "Not Yours To Give," by American statesman and Senator from Tennessee, Davy Crockett.

  3.  @conman2747  To the contrary... As Ayn Rand explains, a "right" to "Health" Care, in practical terms, becomes a system of sickness management and dependency, not to mention an extortion of those who prefer to take responsibility for their own health. As is shown, social-ism, is a fixed ideology to which the people submit under duress, whereas fair market capitalism is a living ideal - a value for value exchange and right to contract, to which people freely commit. In other words, whereas ideology - whether religious or secular, compels submission, ideals permit free association, independent volition and choice. State imposed "Health" Care, permits neither choice nor rights, which is ironically, anathema to a liberal social ethos. In fact, State imposed "Health" Care, destroys rights and liberty, and in too many cases, destroys health also.

  4. Whereas Social-ism is a political ideology that panders to mediocrity and weakness, whilst posing as a champion of social justice, capitalism appeals to merit and a pursuit of excellence. A "conservative" - one who preserves and conserves, and empowers the people to become their best Selves - enhancing their personal dignity, is the authentic home of social justice. Basically, whereas wealth creating capitalism encourages & admires personal initiative, social-ism, appeals to mediocrity, which leads to entropy and a collapse of the will to succeed, which in turn gives rise to economic & social chaos. This is why, all promised socialist utopias are wishful fictions.

  5.  @stijnbch4813  No "contusion." A philosophy of economy, IS "societal." A philosophy of economy, is akin to the engine in an automobile or a boat. Whereas a sound philosophy of economy, will land one on favored shores, a false, reactionary ideology (Malthusian) of economy will collapse one's ship on the rocks. Whereas one may provide for an equality of access to the means of producing wealth, it is impossible to force an equality of outcome, which in the dynamics of its application, is an oxymoron..

  6.  @stijnbch4813  Man must create to be worthy. This earned sense of worthiness, gives rise to an authentic self-esteem. And this self-esteem, gives rise, insofar as a material world permits, to a joy and purpose of life. Neither dignity nor rights are a gift of birth, but must be won anew by each succeeding generation. The Big Mother dependencies, and entitlements of a regressive and pretentious left, tend to stifle this necessary human dialectic. Human rights, and claims to dignity, have been misapplied.
