There are certain things that can't be left to business to run or decide. Policing, Justice, Prisons, Healthcare, Education, Defences, Border Controls, being top of the list. Governing the country being number one.

Once a country does give these sectors over to big businesses to run the people come second and profits come first. A US National Health Scheme would save Americans Billions a month.

Quote:
In 2013 U.S. health care spending increased 3.6 percent to reach $2.9 trillion, or $9,255 per person, the fifth consecutive year of slow growth in the range of 3.6 percent and 4.1 percent. The share of the economy devoted to health spending has remained at 17.4 percent since 2009 as health spending and the Gross Domestic Product increased at similar rates for 2010 - 2013.
Every person earning under a certain wage is a drag on the economy. They are unable to pay their share of taxes to keep the country running. An inflated population, with a large percentage at the bottom is expensive, they need benefits, housing, healthcare, education, policing, prisons, Justice, lawyers, etc.

This is why Trump is winning the argument on keeping out unskilled migrants. What's the point of keeping migrants out if the resident population is exploding?

You won't find many middle class families with unplanned children they can't care for.
