Kept it short in the other thread and I will keep it short here:

Health, Security, and Infrastructure (roads, electricity, internet, etc.) Should be socialized and should fall squarely on the government's shoulders so that I can pursue my happiness in peace.

Why?

Do you feel this because you want better services for all, or because if some ideological feeling towards it?

Meaning is someone could come up with a better solution though Capitalism then Socialism, would you be for it?

 

If you can come up with a better solution in capitalism where I can always know that no matter what happens I'll be able to walk into a hospial and be treated, my place to live would have everything necessary for basic living and my business would too, and that I'm safe being in this country. Then yeah let it do so. Curently only the Security works in the US. The Infrastructure, and ESPECIALLY the Health part is so pathetic words can't describe it.

 

Well, thanks to the advancements in medical science due to capitalism, people live longer without ever walking into a hospital, if you get things that used to kill you, you can now go to the grocery store and spend 7 dollars on a box of medication that saves your life. Those things only exist because of Capitalism.

Also, today you can walk into any hospital, and get treatment (if it's life threatening).

I am not sure what part of the US doesn't work like you would like it to.

Yes I can walk into a hospital and then I will have a bill in the thousands for the simplest thing (a simple X-Ray on my arm). That isn't working, that isn't being able to go in and get treated at all. Also, Just because the US was utterly untouched by WWII while all the other powers were ruined doesn't make Capitalism work by itself alone. Following your logic I can prove you that a Monarchy system is by far the best for everyone considering how much ehadway there was under it.
