Universal healthcare and Education

How many people you know are saying: “I think it’s a human right that everyone have healthcare? And that everyone receives free education? And everyone receives food.”? Everything free, funded or more accurately redistributed by the State will result in no-one getting any of it. As the quality of it will decrease and the price will rise. See how the US education system turned out? Or public schooling turned out?

A lot of kids today say that capitalism is bad because its based on “selfishness” and being selfish is bad. Capitalism is not based on selfishness. It is based voluntary trade and freedom of choice.

If you are not selfish, then in a capitalistic system you can greatly benefit the poor through charity. You can donate money to the poor or to people who need an education. This is voluntary, non-coercive and its much more selective meaning more effective than giving money to the State who spend on things recklessly.
