Totally agree. As much as I love the music ...Amen! Totally agree. As much as I love the music and lyrics of Rush, socialist politicians do treat people as pawns for their own advancement. They truly believe in what they are doing. They truly believe that people benefit from their nanny state decisions.

Socialists...His views are a far cry from socialism. Socialists literally worship the government (even if they don't realize it) and they believe that bureaucrats make better decisions about individual's lives than individuals do in spite of every ounce of evidence proving that bureaucrats treat people like "things". But Peart is an artist and most artists have problems embracing the concept of the totally free market. He's more illuminated than most, however he does come from Canada and they take for granted their dirt-cheap but in reality inferior and bankrupt healthcare system which they've been duped into believing is both more compassionate and superior in quality (that latter part is the real knee-slapper). Peart has the same delusion that many otherwise intelligent people do: that healthcare is some kind of special industry that should (and can be optimally) run on taxes and charity, although those same people would balk at that idea concerning food -- even though if somebody is going hungry they are suffering. Peart's a brilliant artist and philosopher, but like most of his kind he's no economist.
