Of course, the constituencies which oppose single-payer seem often to be composed of the same people who will vote out anyone who messes with their Social Security, Medicare, or VA benefits.
- Randgalt 10y agoThat's an excellent point. Medicare and SSI are equally bad programs that should be phased out.
- VonGuard 10y agoI often wonder if John Galt ever found himself living alone in a room with no one to take care of him in his old age.
- Randgalt 10y agoGalt doesn't need anyone to take care of him.
- wavefunction 10y agoIt's true, Galt was a fictional caricature.
- mr_tyzic 10y agoAyn Rand sure did though.
- nappy-doo 10y agoWho is John Galt? :)
- tn13 10y agoI think John Galt would prefer to die than use someone else's money by force to take care of himself. I think that is very honorable.
- splintercell 10y ago> I often wonder if John Galt ever found himself living alone in a room with no one to take care of him in his old age. I hope you understand that to Objectivists that sounds like saying "I often wonder if Frederick Douglass ever found himself suffer an accident at work with no master to take care of him because he isn't a slave". I am sure there are better arguments possible against objectivist position, but the one you made is rather naive one.
