<<And your damn right one should be able to pursue the job of their dreams! We are not slaves. To pursue the best one can be is a basic and fundamental libertarian concept - an American concept! - and yes, a right! What does "free" mean? In fact, it's called the "American Dream!" Is everyone capable of doing more than your example of dead animal cleanup? No, but they should be able to quit and flip burgers if they want. There's no reason in the world health care shouldn't be portable. What job you have at any given time shouldn't have anything to do with it.>>

If you don't want to settle for a "cruddy" job with good benefits, go make enough money and buy your own policy. There is your portability. Or pay as you go. Lots of people do that. I don't think I should have to finance "your" dream job. That may make YOU free but it puts a collar around MY neck. I don't know of any society, at any time in history, that seriously included the premise that people should be able to work at whatever job they want and not have to make sacrifices. There are too many people out there barely scraping by and working hellish jobs to take care of their families (and damned grateful that they can put food on the table) for me to have much concern for someone wanting to fulfill themselves on the back of other's labor.
