Is not about ideologies: China and the USSR were bitter enemies for decades, and both were Communists.

There are people that don't need to support a family or buy a house that benefit from a lower-than-minimum wage. The classic example is an student from a low-income community, who will benefit from a part-time job to help paying for his-her career.

Great metaphor.

That is SOOO BS that is painful to overcome the repulsion. High abortion rates are related to culture and education, not to poverty. The "poors" in the US have iPhones and air conditioning, they definitely can afford a condom. Of course you will say that I'm a rich SoB or another tactic to deviate from the fact that you are a bullshitter, as so-called "liberals" usually do. Now, even assuming that the Affordable Health Care Act "will dramatically reduce abortion rates" as you say, the question is : at what cost?

I am sorry to discourage you, but sarcasm to be effective requires at least a little ingenuity.

"It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.’ But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance." – Murray Rothbard

As Thomas Sowell has exposed repeatedly, racism is an individual prejudice and there's no justification for specific actions to fight it. Discrimination, on the other hand, is harmful and needs to be prevented. Nothing coming from the government should be discriminative to any individual. But a private organization has the right to organize whatever they want, be it a brain-surgeons only society, or a Black American Pageant.
