   If I can spare some money, I know that I can be saved in the United   
   States. In Canada, even if I have the money, they would rather just let   
   me die. We don't have a two-tier system here at all. It's public or   
   nothing, and public is awful. Besides, socialism is not only why people   
   are dying before even getting to a hospital, it's responsible for   
   allowing illegal migrants to enter without any sort of prohibition. It   
   is why women are getting raped without a hope for rescue. It's why those   
   same victims of rape get 17 years in prison for defending themselves   
   from their rapists with a knife.   
      
   Socialism is an ideology created by Satan to enrich his followers at the   
   expense of everyone else. Anyone who supports it is a complete and utter   
   moron.
