the progressives are desperately trying to nationalize our healthcare via Obamacare.
Do you think the progressives should go after the banks and housing next?

I think that both should have much more government oversight, absent of lobbyists sticking their noses into the whole affair. I don't believe that they should be nationalized; I don't believe that collective property ala communism is a realistic thing to aspire towards, nor do I believe that it promotes liberty or freedom.

An unfettered free market doesn't promote freedom or liberty either, as it more or less allows for an oligarchic aristocracy to implement its own rules for how society will function. There must be a medium.
