And the aid I get wouldn't be enough for me to get by if my family weren't well-off, so how would the government have enough money to give every family enough money to be happy and prosperous if we went socialist?!
You think my healthcare is quality? I don't need too much and it still blows, especially if anything goes wrong.
Like I said, my family is able to help out a lot, which I'm very lucky because my government healthcare blows.
I don't relate because, ideologically, I don't see a government as anything more than a collection of people formalizing how to coexist. It seems you perceive it as some entity separate from yourself. I understand why you feel that way, because in a Representative Democracy like ours you are sometimes going to have charismatic liars who don't govern in good faith. All that to say, "We the People' have a right to collectively decide that we can distribute the resource of Healthcare more equitably (and efficiently) than an entity whose sole motive is profit.
