There's just too much to respond to here and I don't have the time do it.
However, I will say that this:
1) People in the US seem to forget this but if a person needs immediate medical treatment in the US but cannot pay for it a doctor is required by law to help them. Besides, what kind of doctor is going to sit back while a person dies infront of them. There is doctor I know who saved a mans life that could not pay for the procedure. The man wanted to pay though so they worked out payment through the man cutting firewood. Second, the healthcare in the US is already saturated with government money which is already causing our current high prices in health care. When you look at medical expenditures which are not affected by this money (laser eye surgery for instance) the prices have been dropping over time with better methods and more competition.
2) "Capitalism gives them the right to be self-centered and greedy and uncaring" I'm sorry but this kind of stuff just drives me up the wall. Some of the most self-centered, greedy and uncaring people I have ever seen or heard of have been people making far less than even a hundred thousand dollars. There are so many people that blame greed for our current situation that have absolutely no hard evidence with which to justify their absolute claims. Why doesn't anybody blame the liberal politicians who wanted to artificially hold down prices -- be cause they care so much -- and have screwed over a LOT of people because of it. All these policies do is turn one problem into a bigger problem. Then, when they don't work, everyone screams greed, blames the free market, and put even more government control in place. The great irony on Obama's rebuttal of trickledown economics is that as Obama "punishes" the "haves," there will be some tightening of the belt, both personally and in their businesses. This tightening of the belt will trickle down as I have mentioned earlier. All that said, I also realize this is hopeless argument.
3) And know we have jobs sent overseas. To keep jobs in America, we need to make an environment in America that is good for business. That is not what Obama wants to do. Instead of address the reasons jobs leave the country he wants "punish" companies that do so. That kind of talk isn't going to help. I mentioned the CAFE standards earlier. Everyone knows that the US automobiles industry is doing poorly right now, much of the problem being too much government regulation and unions. Why doesn't Obama repeal the CAFE standards and stop hurting US automobile companies? Simple, he is either ignorant or he is not interested in helping US companies. Liberals keep trying to add more and more costly regulations on companies while then calling those companies unpatriotic when outsourcing is cheaper than staying the US. If a company needs to outsource but can't or needs to lay off employees it and can't, that is not healthy for the company. It may be great for the employees; at least until the company loses so much profit that it fails. Businesses exist to do two things, make a profit and expand. You can't regulate and tax a company so much that they can't make a profit and expect the top company officials to make decisions that will hurt the company – after all, it is there job to help the company. Government regulation cannot create an artificially stable economy. Forcing companies to keep jobs that are unprofitable merely treats the symptoms rather than the actual problems.
Like I said earlier, we are hardly a truly capitalistic society anymore. There is too much regulation. So I really wish people would stop blaming capitalism. This country could never have reached its current affluence without capitalism.
