Socialism relies on the benevolence of Man and man is a flawed beast. Concentrate wealth and power in that system and the greed of man becomes the supreme. IMHO.
I don't understand what you are talking about. How is universal health care an "empty promise"? Every other major country on the Earth has it except us. People are dying and going bankrupt with our shitty health care system. The insurance industry is getting rich off the backs of sick people. The politicians who say we can't have it are taking bribes from insurance and drug companies. God forbid we live in a socialist hell hole like Sweden or Canada.
