There's SSDI and my long term disability insurance (provided by those evil insurance companies) as well to take care of that. You can't fix stupid, stupid being not able to take care of yourself, or just too stupid to be lazy.

If you want to work, there are jobs.

If that's what you truly believe then it's quite apparent to me that you're nothing but a snot-nosed, still wet behind the ears kid.
 
You said


Which got responded with


And you simply rolled eyes....

Is that it? How does that make sense? Really. Did you address any one of his valid points about immigration? You know, huge differences in immigration law, family, restrictions on moving money, differences in job opportunity...No, no you did not. Yeah, and you complain about my reading comprehension.

Here, I'll help you "comprehend" his post. He basically said, that it's FAR EASIER to change policy in your OWN government, than to change policy in OTHER government to relax their immigration. See? That wasn't so hard when your own ideology doesn't blind you from reading posts. Yeah, "reading comprehension" indeed....

Hahahahahahahah! Okay, for the idiots -

I have great news for you and your buds that feel this way.
Since this is America, you are free to leave to forth and find the Utopia you are looking for.
If this was China or North Korea, you would not be able to leave.
So please go forth and best of luck with whatever country you find that doesn't have Liberals that love America.

To which I replied, by means of quoting him in my first post in this thread, the one I told you to read, that you apparently either didn't bother...

Or, since you think Europe's healthcare is a model of how we should do it, you can leave. Unless they have a problem with crazy people.

Then WhipperSnapper, who has already proven in another thread his unwillingness to read, jumps in with a tangent about immigration, to which I used 🙄 because, as before, he (just as you now) didn't bother to read it through.

But hey, thanks for the laugh.
 
This defines conservatives vs. liberals.

Conservatives want equal opportunity
Liberals want equal outcome

I don't know of and have never met a single liberal who wants equality of outcome. And living out here on the left coast, I know hell of a lot of liberals, let me tell ya.

But you just keep repeating your nonsense, we all know you're just the right wingnut version of the goofball the OP was talking about. Both of you live in an America of one person, yourselves.

I'd say it's more that liberals want an equal starting place and gravel to fill the pot holes during the race (i.e, preventing people from slipping through the cracks or having their lives completely ruined due to uncontrollable circumstances). They are willing to sacrifice some individual liberty to ensure they don't have to worry about catastrophe.

I won't pretend to know what Conservatives want...though I have some limited understanding. What they want isn't bad, it's just different, and in some ways even more optimistic than liberals appear to be.

I'd agree with this. Circumstance is a bitch, and sometimes progressive liberals go too far IMO in trying to mitigate it.

What conservatives want depends on the conservative. Like liberals, they are a diverse group with diverse opinions (really, I hate labels, but what the hell). Near as I can tell though, spidey is still pissed off about the 13th and 14th amendments. And what he really doesn't understand is that Ayn Rand hated people like him about as much as she hated socialists, and for much the same reasons. You have no right to abuse govt to protect you from other people and at their expense. That applies to the rich just as much as it does the poor.

So, in another words, your took dmcowen674 seriously? or bothered to reply with non-sensical reply, and you mock someone who posed legitimate question? Nevermind what WhipperSnapper thinks, I did ask you a legitimate question. You could pointed that thread out in your first post, instead of waiting till this one.
 
America where Healthcare is a right but your hard earned money isn't. It is the peoples money!

I hate YOUR VERSION of America damn straight!

Where personal responsibility is traded for lackluster expensive healthcare run like the post office. Where no one gets great healthcare because it is not fair so everyone gets marginal healthcare! WOO HOO! That is insentive to work hard! Where some asshole who sits at home and plays PS3 gets to get that marginal healthcare at your expense! Woo Hoo! Where my employer will pay a 40% tax on my HSA because it is called a cadillac plan. My HSA where I MYSELF reduce my own healthcare costs by paying cash and shopping for hotdeals on treatment. I actually get cash discounts. Not for Long! I have to give up saving money so that fat bastard on that PS3 can have marginal healthcare and not have to take care of himself, develop diabetes and then we'll all pay for his treatment! Oh great now I'm on the same plan too. Where I don't know any costs except the cost of my time wasted sitting in a lobby for marginal healthcare.

What makes America Great to a progressive Lib? Everything being fair! with an exemption for Unions because they vote Democrat. Fining people who don't pay into healthcare. Taking money away from the healthy to pay for people in poor health. That sounds fair right? Mandated healthcare or a Fine! Sounds like Liberty to me! You Betcha!

No what makes America great is that if you work hard you can make yourself successful. You all want to tax people all to hell. What makes the government know better what to do with your money than you do? What Happens when people and business cannot afford your taxes? There goes your tax dollars! Workers will not work as hard. Even Doctors under the healthcare plan purposed they can make up to only so much money so when they are done with that vacation the rest of the year and wait till next year when they can get paid for working.

Say goodbye to innovation! Should we be no longer rewarded in the market if we build a better widget? If it has taken thousands or millions of dollars to develop that widget but then the government says sorry you cannot make that much why bother trying to innovate? With a centeralized Government do we get to really keep what is ours? What if the government wants it? There is no more GM or Chrysler as we have known it.

Banks are told not reward anyone. Not even the sucessful honest hard working people. Everyone is bad. There goes all the talent. Anyone with a brain that was left will find a new place to work as their compensation is capped by a beaurcrat that could barely get a job in the mail room. Sure there are bad guys in each industry and they do not deserve gloden parachutes. I think they should get 2 weeks money and send them packing if they were stealing or frauding the company they should be prosecuted as well. But Branding all people in specific industries as bad and then taking over their companies and running them is not a recipe for long term success in America.

The government feels more and more entitled to our money. That is a problem. This is a limited Government for the people and not vice-versa. I do not support your utopian dream of a broke but fair America. Freedom isn't free. And Liberty is a punchline and not a right anymore. What has happened to Liberty? Why is pursuing it wrong now? Can we only have Life now?

Your sig stinks of envy and class warfare, and is bald-faced lie. If you're gonna tax people to death for working hard, what's the point of working?

Your statement has flawed assumptions:

1. You assume rich people work hard and/or hard workers are rich.
2. Somehow tax rate can cause death of the "rich" class. Capital and rich class flight is a myth. Where would they run to? Russia? China? Africa? I hope they love the Mafia, CCP, and real gangs.

You can squeeze the rich FAR MORE right here right now, before they remotely consider moving anywhere else.

The real rate is probably more like 15-20%. If you factor in underemployment it's even higher.

And extending unemployment benefits only made it worse. Why would somebody take a 10-12 dollar an hour job when they're making more than that in unemployment?

We need to restore the time when taking a handout is shameful and needs to be publicaly shunned. See somebody using food stamps - embarass them, call them out, call attention to them. Follow them out to their nice car in a mob and shame them to let them know that shit is wrong.

Hunger is a hell of a motivator to work.

Wow! I am about as far to the right of center as you will find, and I don't know anybody that thinks like that.

I thank my parents for instilling values in me, especially pops who grew up in the great depression and defended this great nation in WW2. our nation is full of pussies, IMHO.

[conservative rage] If those damn welfare mamas would just get a damn job and quit having crack babies I wouldn't have to pay for their health care and I could buy another boat. [/conservative rage]

Of course it was liberal welfare policies over the past 50+ years which created the whole welfare mom crack baby stereotype. When liberal welfare policies were put in place that basically told women that not only were fathers not needed, but they would get more money if they didn't have them around. Well there was only a natural result which was higher illegitimacy and generational poverty. Compare illegitimacy of black families between 1955, 1970 and 1985. It went from the low 20s% to greater then 70% (in 1955 whites had a greater chance then blacks of being born into a illegitimate family). All due to liberal welfare policies which had the government take the place of the fathers.

Whats happened as a result of liberal policies is a tragedy. They have created a permanent underclass in our society and they have no regrets about doing so. Why?

Because with liberals, results of their policies don't matter. Only their "good" intentions.

You make it very difficult for people to agree with you, or even see your side of the argument, when you use demagoguery.
 
Universal Health Care reminds me of the movie Solient Green. What I want to say is that the soviet union and cuba are designed around this system where everyone is equal and everyone lives in the way that the state tells them. However, who has the better living conditions? The people trying to live free have a higher standard of living. I choose the system with the higher standard of living. If you want to choose breadlines and rationing fell free to move to Cuba or Moscow. At least there are no fat people there because everyone is starving to death and groveling for government rationed food.

So why do you want to change the USA into a squalid wasteland communist country?
