claim they would pay anything for some trite object
Education for your kids, health insurance to finance treatment for deadly illness, and personal safety are hardly "trite objects". If a person would not spend highly on these things, what would he be willing to spend on as a higher priority?

- VLM 13y agoExactly what I meant. Now imagine a horde of crooked businessmen (and bad money always chases out good...) purchasing .gov assistance in eliminating a free market in those areas as they start to pick your pocket. After all, you'd pay anything for those topic, so they'll logically take everything. Their purchase of .gov means there will not be any competition to keep prices down. Finally another key to the puzzle is its perception that sells not the product. If you think your insurance company will stand by you to help you thru an illness, they would never try to screw you and your heirs as much as possible, well, I've got a bridge to sell you. "The system" is crooked enough that if someone is selling you safety you can pretty much assume they're just screwing you over; kind of like any argument in politics involving "its for the children".
