We can ration by price and individual capacity to pay or we can ration by some jackbooted function, commonly called "government."

The former allows for compassion which is doled out by humans. We call that "charity" - some is organized and some not. Doesn't matter; it's voluntary.

The latter is inevitably achieved by shoving a gun up someone's ass and demanding they fork over the money or you'll blow their brains out the long way.


Take a moment to read this again, and apply it to everything. You have to have capitalism, or give up your freedom. I'll add in case its not obvious that if the government decides to let you die or decides to take from you - you can legitimately be upset with no recourse. If you run out of money thats your own damn fault and encourages you to work harder and take care of friends and family. You want a life of anger at those in charge or a life of hard work and family?
