SO NOW WE'RE STUCK with semi socialistic health care, which pleases neither the capitalists nor the socialists, which is perhaps the way is should be. compromise is never intended to achieve complete happiness or displeasure. conservatives should be grateful that the united states didn't end up with a canadian or european style single payer socialist system. from the conservative point of view, it could have been worse.
the effort to repeal obama care will be combative, exciting, and entertaining. throughout most of the world, it is likely that people will be amazed that the americans are fighting such a huge battle over such a lame, limp, weak form of socialism, instead of at least having an argument over real socialism.
throughout most of the world, taxes are very high, and government services include health care insurance.
since even in america the people want good roads, sewer systems, and a strong military "defense" if nothing else, taxes will of necessity be high; it is a simple fact of life that modern life, which includes big infrastructure and big projects (like fleets of aircraft carriers) requires big collections of money from everyone.
its hard to imagine the united states having a good military defense and highway system if private companies were offering these things in response to popular demand, and we were paying for it directly out of our pockets to said private corporations. i would be tempted to scrimp on defense, and hope other people are paying for it. what would everyone else do?
the american military is a socialistic entity, and cannot ever be otherwise. the question is; what is the best balance between socialism and capitalism going forward? we need to find an answer.
