Host, what is the difference between a government run program, and a corporation who operates under authority of the government?
Not much. The actions of the FBI and CIA really aren't any different than that of Blackwater. The key element they have in common though is the government mandates their existence.
To say Blackwater is a 'private' company is a huge stretch. Besides, national defense is one element that is allowed (for sake of argument ill loosely call the iraq invasion 'defense') under the constitution, so for us to be using mercs is something I'm against.
I really don't know how ending government programs and reducing taxes somehow would consolidate power to the wealthy. Where is the wealth already and where is the trend going, more government or less government? Doesn't it seem the more taxes and government we allow the more powerful the corporations become?
You're talking about a doctor who gave free care to people who could not afford it. To imply he doesn't care about the quality of life of an average American is ludicrous.
