>Why isn't it a crime to preside over a company that prioritizes profit over people's lives? Because the publics and their representatives made the law that this is a perfectly legal and acceptable thing to do. Killing a CEO does very little, as there are hundreds of millions of people lined up to take their job. It would be more effective to go out and kill your neighbors who vote differently than you, and reject things like single payer healthcare or reform. |

I can't tell if this is a joke or not but I'll argue as if it isn't. First of all, nobody knows if single payer or any reform would lead to anything better. It's a complex issue that boils down to trying to get something for nothing (or at a price lower than the limited supply of healthcare dictates), which leads to enslaving other people to pay for one's own needs. You can do something about corporate corruption such as in the insurance industry. But state corruption is much more insidious. If you feel that strongly about state-sponsored healthcare then there are lots of other countries you can choose to live in that allegedly have the benefits you want, rather than just hating or doing harm to your neighbors. Furthermore, the MAJORITY of people who approve of the current system aren't going to stand by helpless as random wannabe tyrants attack them.
