    All Humans in Scandinavia and Canada are entitled to

    -- food
    -- housing
    -- medical care

    Even people serving life for murder in these countries are treated humanely.

    You live in the US, and thus, your point, above, is irrelevant.
    Why do you refuse to understand you are not entitled to have other people provide the means for you to exercise your rights?

    Unfortunately, like 44 million Americans I have a mental disability -- Autism and Depression. Many people can not provide for themselves.

    Ah. Your mental disability prevents you from understanding you are not entitled to have other people provide the means for you to exercise your rights.
    That is, you cannot understand reality.
    Fair enough.

    No. I am not a low functioning Autistic -- I am an Aspie.

    All people have a right to life, but tens of millions of people can not support themselves.

    Sadly, it does not show in your posts.

    So government should be seen as a life support system?

    Well, we have free air to breathe, free sunshine to warm by, free edible plants in the forests and unoccupied public lands along with free medicinal herbs, and free water to drink at springs, rivers, and when it rains. What else exists or should exist free to partake of?

    Prisoners do get free food, housing (I think most them dislike the free housing) and medical care in the USA.

    US prisons are severely lacking in mental health care and the weakest part of the system.

    Ok then - explain why you refuse to understand you are not entitled to have other people provide the means for you to exercise your rights.

    The top 1% pay over 70% of all federal income tax. Even if the government stole everything they earn it wouldn't be nearly enough to provide free housing, food, and medical care to everyone. Even if it were possible it would be a terrible idea to provide for everybody for free.

    It can be seen in his posts. He fixates. You will get into circular arguments quickly.
    Should make for a great computer programmer.

    And yes, why not. I have no problem with the government being used to protect the weak.
    Call me a lefty. But it's not all bad.

    Wrong. They work for a living like we do. They get "free" medical - if they can stay alive long enough to get to the front of the queue. They pay for that "free" medical with high taxes on everybody, not just the rich. For example, in Sweden they have a 25% consumption tax. That's a tax on virtually everything you buy.

    I find endless loops unproductive, and not a sign of a good programmer.

    I only have a problem with the level of government where such is determined appropriate, adequate, reasonable or rational.

    Aspie's make good programmers mate. They can be well paid members of society if they play to their strengths.

    In USA, prisoners get very very low quality housing, food, and medical care. In Canada and Scandinavia they live in humane conditions.

    Everyone's rights are provided by the State. The State can tax the very rich to provide food, housing, and medical care for all people.

    Thank you. I hope so.

    I just can not understand, how can our Society abandon tens of millions of people in need.

    This isn't what I asked you.
    I asked you to explain why you refuse to understand you are not entitled to have other people provide the means for you to exercise your rights.
    Well?
