Quote:Anyone--literally anyone--can find $2 to walk into McDonald's and buy a cheeseburger and a drink. McDonald's, unfortunately, does not sell life-saving medications on the dollar menu.

 

Clearly we should take all the food and start distributing it to those who don't have any and who can't possibly get any. It's a matter of life and death for so many that only the most heartless person would oppose providing it to all people for free.

 

See, you simply can't limit your red line to just medication if life or death is the delineation. You're simply creating a false parameter that, once instilled, will easily become whatever those in charge want it to be. Once you start saying private property is community property the opportunistic will ensure that you'll never get that genie back in the bottle. Don't vote for "X" because they'll take away your "Y." Vote for A because he'll make sure that B "pays their fair share." All the same principle, that what you have isn't ever really yours, it's just yours until we decide someone else needs it more, which sounds a whole lot like what ol' Oklahomie was gunning for back in the day.
