As I mentioned previously, people usually start arguing the "morals of health care" when they have lost the economic debate. Often times, politicians realize they can't win a legitimate debate and go straight to the emotional issue of morals. This only works on people who can't aruge the economics and don't want to appear mean spirited. However, if you take a step back and look at who is making the moral argument, you will have a major striking point. Who in their right mind would cede the moral high ground to the likes of Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and others? There are very few politicians that could argue a moral issue and have s true leg to stand on.
Also, who is anyone to tell someone else what their morals should be? Isn't this the land of individual liberty? Isn't this the land built on the idea of the individual and the individuals inherent God given rights? Once you allow someone else to determine your morals you have given up your own argument for morality and thus your own personal freedom. You have handed responsibility for your life to someone else. This is immoral. Allowing someone else to determine your life and future allocates you to the position of slave. We all agree that this is immoral. Then again maybe we don't.
It is not the government or anyone else's right to force something on someone else. this is another form of slavery. It is not a governments right to take from one and give to another. This is theft. I believe we all see theft as immoral. We don't like it when corrupt people within corporations do it, why should we accept this action from our government or our neighbor?
What really makes no sense to me is daily people complain about how politicians are corrupt, inept, ignorant, stupid, you name the derogative. Why would we hand over the selfare of ourselves and our families to them? We constantly read about fraud, waste, and abuse within government bureacracies but somehow we convince ourselves that this will be different? Who are the true stupid ones here?
Government run health care is not moral.
more to follow.
