I think this thread really derailed... Shouldn't we be addressing the question of whether or not left wing policies are the causation of pain and suffering inflicted by the government?
I brought up some extreme right (and please correct me, because I haven't even started college yet) examples (imperialism, slavery, etc) with the logic that in a purely capitalistic mindset, profit should be the number one concern above all else (including human rights, ethics, etc).
Oh, and I just remembered and found the video of the 2 people arguing (7:00 ish) with the guy arguing about slavery.
