1.7 Consider the following text from the former US President Ronald Reagan’s 1961 speech
concerning “socialized medicine”:
“Once you establish the precedent that the government can determine a
man’s working place and his working methods, determine his employment,
from here it's a short step to all the rest of socialism -- to determining his
pay, and pretty soon your son won’t decide when he’s in school, where he
will go, or what they will do for a living. He will wait for the government to tell
him where he will go to work and what he will do”
