Don't try and twist it into the sacrifice of the people who created the country - that has absolutely nothing to do with the healthcare system. Also classlessness, which you seem to be a huge fan of, is a major component of communism. A capitalist world naturally has classes, a gap between the rich and the poor that continues generation to generation. |
I thought the context of your post was someone needs to pay for the poor to have healthcare, and it's a sacrifice the rich need to make. I don't think it is. I think the sacrifice the poor needed made for them, was made. The rest is up to the people who are poor.
And classes today are only classes because we call them that. They are not remotely the same as a class based system 250 years ago. Back then, if you were born poor, you were going to die poor, and there was nothing you could do about it.
In the US, millions of poor people are bettering there lives every day. In a capitalist world, you have rich and poor, but any individual can become either.
