Nice circular reasoning.

And it's closed-minded "I've got mine, you can't have any" attitudes like
that that explain our lack of an effective national health care, not any
lack of equitability.

The poor don't get their right to free speech according to their wealth, why
should they get their right to good health according to their wealth? Do
you actually understand the concept that diseases that breed in the poor
don't care who they infect, and often cause pandemics that cost society lots
of money to cure? Wouldn't it make more sense to stop them before they get
to that point?

Evidence, please.

What an appropriate analogy, since you appear to live in such a fantasy
world. Just tap your heels together three times, and maybe you'll wake up.

Tap those heels together, now. Just three times.

Start by asking them about female circumcision. Then ask them
about female rights to ownership of property, female education,
divorce laws. Ask what countries females can drive in. Ask them
how many western women are trying to get custody of their children
after a divorce.

How about the practice of chopping the hand off a thief, or
hanging a family member who dishonors the family?

That's for starters. There's plenty more.
