40. The majority of the people
reject hardcore liberal and conservative policies. SS and UHC are perfect examples of that too.

The majority of the people think universal health care sounds like a good idea, but yet they are not willing to pay for it. When less than half of those who say they "support" UHC, can you fairly say the majority want it? No you cannot.

The majority of the people now believe social security is their retirement. They would rather spend spend spend now and hope social security will get them through their later years. This is not by accident.
IF the majority of the people really support social security as it was intended then why is it not voluntary?

Fact is, social security and universal health care MUST be mandated in order to be somewhat functionable and the majority of the people do not support such mandated policies. If they did, we would already have them.
