Re: Do Conservatives really believe the shit they say?
Yes.
Yes. Privatization encouraged ownership and work which led to the creation of the greatest civilization in the history of humanity. Or do you suggest that you shouldn't own the fruits of your labor? The tragedy of the commons is written about quite well and we have a plethora of examples throughout history that shows exactly what happens when one ends private ownership.
Yes. Because to make a commodity cheaper and better you need two things: profit incentive and freedom of labor. If there's absolutely no incentive to make a product better, then why do it? That's exactly what happened in Detroit with the automobile industry there. Once the tariffs and trade barriers were lifted to allow foreign competition into America, they couldn't compete. Detroit collapsed because unions and regulations made Detroit uncompetitive in a global market. There was no incentive to make a better product because subsidies and tariffs kept competition away.
...who? Who says this??
Kind of like the Epipen? That wasn't the free market's fault. That was the Federal Government ensuring that there was no competition. That's the only way one could jack up prices by 5,000%. The FDA barred substitution for Epipen. You know what happens in a free market when someone raises the price of something up 5,000%? Someone jumps into the market and offers a product at a cheaper price.
Strawman is noted.
So you willingly gave money for a donation and you think this is somehow against capitalism or conservatism...how? Private charity and voluntary exchange is conservatism. Forcing people under threat of a government gun to surrender to property or labor is what we stand against.
This same individual regularly and loudly proclaimed no man should ever need help.
And then when life hit him hard, he begged for help.
That's my point there.
