Of course you can. Socialism has been tried in both medical care and food and fails in both.

Note that I can own 3 cars and a lot of stuff that I want (never mind if *you* or someone else thinks it's useless) while having a great work/life balance. A couple of months vacation a year. Or more. 40 hour work weeks generally. More time with my family than at work. You have been reading too many issues of the World Worker's Daily. |
