7. All the great strides in sanitation and vaccinations, etc....
did not come from the private sector--they couldn't make a quick buck off longer lives and healthier workers. It came because we had government programs to enforce health rules and vaccinations and so forth. The private sector also did not run out and build a nation-wide system of highways. They didn't provide us with clean water or sanitation rules to prevent the spread of really disgusting and painful diseases. They didn't provide for the care of the poor and sick. So what the fuck is this asshole talking about?
