>>Do you think that without a profit motive we'd have MRI & CT Scans? Life-saving drugs? Modern medical facilities and surgical implants?

that's a bogus argument

in the first case, lots of medical and technology advancements have been tremendously helped by govt funding

secondly, there's no reason that corporations can't make profits and on the other hand the Govt provide social services to the population through progressive taxes

amazing that all conservatives think liberals/progressives are against capitalism and profits

the difference is liberals/progressives believe there should be a balance on both sides... capitalism and socialism

which is very healthy for a well-balanced functioning society

instead of the rapacious greed supported by right wing goons, which always ends in economic calamity, as history has shown us
