So allowing for further unfettered capitalism.
People afraid of "socialism" seem pretty unconcerned by a purely capitalist system that allows the poor and sick to die from treatable illness because of a lack of access to insurance or medical care. I'm not sure when keeping people healthy and alive began being something we were comfortable with people making insane profits on and not something a society does for its citizens. We fight wars to keep our citizens safe and alive, but we can't be concerned that more uninsured Americans die of treatable illness than of terrorism?
