A socialist's worst nightmare

Socialism cannot exist in a vacuum. It can only exist where free market capitalism can provide the services to citizens that the government cannot.

Take Canada. Canada spends almost no money on it's national defense. Why? Because they know that Uncle Sam will be there to bail them out if they were ever invaded by, say, Iceland. The same is true of Europe.

The Canadian government's worst nightmare is that we adopt their single payer health care system.

Why?

Because then their government will be held responsible for providing the medical services many of their citizens get in the US. But more importantly, the political elite will have to travel on south to get that medical care............

Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams is set to undergo heart surgery this week in the United States.

CBC News confirmed Monday that Williams, 60, left the province earlier in the day and will have surgery later in the week.

The premier's office provided few details, beyond confirming that he would have heart surgery and saying that it was not necessarily a routine procedure.

Socialists are like the teanage kid that can't stand his stupid conservative father. The teen wants to pack up and leave that oppressive son of a bitch father. If only the father didn't pay for education, health care, food, shelter, and an example to live by. It's just so unfair that the father has all these things that he's holding his son hostage over.
