We didn't fight 230+ years ago in a revolution to split off from england just to adopt their government system 230 years later. This is a capitalist country, with a free market system. If you want federal socialist policies, move to a socialist country.

We also didn't fight 230 years ago so that we can be indebted to big businesses each and every day, either. I seriously doubt the founders had Wal mart or Exxon in mind when they penned the Constitution, and they certainly didn't have the kind of massive corporate greed seen in the insurance companies in mind.
You need to educate yourself. We are
not a capitalist country. Due to lassez faire thinking like yours, it is quickly devolving into a corporate oligarchy. Pure capitalism is as dangerous to humanity as pure socialism.
