All in all, I am in no way so far left that I'm preaching communism, I do believe in a free market, but I do not think that education and health should fall under the corporate machine

The only way people will suffer in a free market is if the government gets involved... which they always do, hence our current left wing created housing failure. I already cited that point earlier but you put your head in the ground and pretended not to see it.

As to education, our education system is a complete failure. The Catholic schools educate their students for 1/3 of what the government schools pay, yet they consistently score higher on standardized testing than students educated by the government. How can that be when socialization of the system is the answer to all problems?

The major thing holding us back is the political divide and our legal system. We have judiciaries who legislate form the bench and will stop a program created by our elected officials in Congress for years with legal challenge after legal challenge after legal challenge being launched by opposing political sides. The whole time enriching lawyers like John Edwards (who proclaims he’s for the little guy while he gets 200 dollar hair cuts using money he’s acquired from bankrupting companies and forcing thousands out of their jobs) who create newly found legal principals so they can file law suits to enrich themselves. When you consider that all three major DNC candidates (Obama, Clinton, and Edwards) were lawyers, and Obama’s VP choice (Biden) is a lawyer, you can see why this isn’t going to change. It’s the law firms that truly run this country. Don’t believe me; look at how many lawyers we have in our Senate and House. I find it remarkable that the GOP is running two non-lawyers. That’s probably what will doom them to failure this election. (And no, I’m not speaking out in favor of the GOP either, I’m a Libertarian.)
