Here's an interesting point of view:

"The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently it never occurs to them that you can't make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society with out causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably break down traditional values."

Traditional values such as concern for the other guy, protecting the weak, providing for the underprivileged? The corporate world at the very top selects for sociopathy. That is why we see so many of these CEO's doing grossly antisocial things.

The provision of health care in the Unites States is so expensive now that it will likely be shed as a benefit of corporate employment. But that is because it is technoloigcally driven and much more expensive. Chinese health care is still much much cheaper. But that will change, too, I suspect. Convincing us that we don't deserve it as a perk is just a smoke screen for the real causal problem. It's technologically and profit driven. That is the problem.
