I wasn't talking about the US in particular, I'm from Europe in fact.

I pretty much agree with all your points: surveillance overreach is unacceptable, police power abuse is disgusting, mandatory private health insurance is unethical (though the previous situation didn't exactly work either so I'm unsure that would be better), and I think almost all monopolies are the enemy of both free markets and social protection.

Fixing these things does not require libertarianism or socialism or whatelsehaveyouism. They need political pragmatism, courage and common sense.
