Posts like this are why the word "liberal" scares the hell out of conservatives/moderates.

It's called capitalism. It is an incentive to produce. Why would anyone become a Dr, or a host of other high pressure jobs without an incentive?

The problem with the upper classes, is that many do not see that they have the most to lose if governement is not meeting social needs - and hence they should pay more taxes.

The rich also contribute the bulk of donations to charities. Should only the government be allowed to provide services for the poor, etc?

There were also posts that no "unnecesary" goods and services should be produced? Does that mean that my customers should not be able to purchase a vibrator? How about a movie? Yep, no entertainment for anyone, comrade. WTF?

We don't need to take away all incentive for people to make money in order to provide health care - we just need our leaders to start working for us instead of against us.
