Sorry Bernie. Is it greed that keeps people from doing the right thing? I think it is…

well the problem is not what hes doing but how hes doing it. e.g. drugprices: his way is top down, more money and power to the government so they can basically set the prices something something total government power for some kind of imaginary utopia that will never happen, while a more sensible way to lower the prices would be to just stop protecting patents, and therefore the monopoly, as well as ending other methods of propping up monopolies, like import regulations and so on.

Naw dog. Haven't you heard? No way a government could ever handle running health services. (Please God don't look into any other modern country it will absolutely ruin my argument)

Opposed to the current system where insurance companies and drug manufacturers have created an oligopoly to control price.
