> [@Starving\_Artist](#): > > 46 million people aren’t being completely fucked over. They aren’t even being partially fucked over. In fact, most don’t need health care at all at the present time. And of those who do, most don’t need urgent or expensive care. So that leaves a small percentage of the overall population who truly is in need of help, and my contention is that we’d all be much better served to come up with some sort of program to assist those few people rather… If you could tell us, in advance, which few of those 46 million are going to need urgent and expensive care, it would be a lot easier to target the help just to them. [QUOTE=Starving Artist] It (liberalism) wants to create a world where everything is “fair”, where nobody has it better than anybody else and nobody has more than anybody else. And while that sounds all well and good, a couple of major problems exist in trying to acheive it. Number one, “fairness” is impossible to create in the first place. Fairness has never existed and it never will. Attempts to manufacture it only create other types of unfairness - and artificial, unnecessary ones at that.
