Mark Thoma — 'Health Care Panic, Again'

Despite what conservatives want you to believe, this is not a fight about the role of government. Conservatives have no trouble with government interventions they benefit from. But ask them to give up a dollar to help the less fortunate and it's another story.

Since our money system is designed to help the rich, the so-called creditworthy, at the expense of the poor, the less so-called creditworthy, then it more accurate to call the less fortunate the systematically oppressed.
