Please: Won't you think about the feelings of the Wealthy?

By xxdr_zombiexx

Created Dec 18 2009 - 9:03am


Look, you selfish and short-sighted Liberals: we just cannot afford to help
people. OK?

We cannot afford to blow perfectly good money on America's teeming masses.
You have to give up on attempts to help the little people. We can't waste
time worrying about friggin' polar bears and butterflies.

The rich will suffer.

And that is simply Un-American.

We have to get together on this before it's too late.

We have wealthy people to enrich, we have brown-skinned foreigners to kill,
shit to blow up, terrorists to torture, and oil to steal.

We have to bail out Wall Street. We have to. They cannot be expected to lose
money and just go on like the poor. These are different people. They are....
better.

Just as the poor are used to being "poor" the rich are used to being rich.
IT will be traumatic for them to lose the lifestyles to which they have
become accustomed.

Remember when the poor selfishly caused the housing market to collapse by
tricking mortgage companies? The wealthy were at risk of having their
incomes limited, sometimes to a mere $500000 a year! Heinous!

They are .....better. This is why they are rich to begin with: they DESERVE
to be wealthy.It helps to accept this.

And if you are poor, go look in the mirror - there is a reason you are poor.
It is your lot in life, Try to accept it.

It may not seem like it to you, but these people NEED massive profits in
order to retain their classy lifestyles. It's unfair to even begin to think
about asking these fine people to worry their beautiful minds about hoardes
of poorly-bred mower-class people. It's just not right.

Wealthy people are wealthy because they are simply better. I don't know why
this is so difficult to grasp.

Health Care Reform is BAD!
With regards to healthcare, we cannot be allowing ourselves to be distracted
by the suffering and setbacks of little people who are not even remotely
rich.

Insurance companies have worked very hard to be one of the most lucrative
industries ever and reform will harm that. Single-handedly they have made
healthcare costs to grow to one-sixth of the US economy. This has allowed
them to make far more money than they would have if they had not implemented
managed care. Because of this work they deserve to be wealthy.

See, helping people is a road to hell. Proper access to healthcare options
will only increase the number of poor people we have. These people just are
not like the wealthy. Sure they look like people: they put their clothes on
the same way, but really, they are just a burden to a society organized
around aggrandizement of the wealthy class.

Protecting the Climate is bad for the Rich, too
A lot of wealth is generated by Big Oil. So what if it's causing the Earth
to heat up a little? Big deal.

Cleaning up pollution? BIG waste of time and money that the rich could be
hoarding.

Besides, all that climate change crap has been debunked by some e-mails from
the 1990's.

Trying to fix this will cost wealthy people a lot of profits to which they
are innately entitled.

Reducing the commoners' dependence on petroleum, getting them to drive
efficient cars or- God forbid - develop solar power and electric cars - will
unduly bring hardship to people who are essentially better than you.

Protecting and enriching the wealthy is our only hope for survival. God
would not have made these people rich if there was not a plan. Just as sheep
are meant to have their fleece shorn off to make warm clothes, your purpose
in this Life is to generate wealth for these folks with your consumption and
your cheap labor.

So please, with all due respect, please stop demanding change.

Please stop harrassing the politicians the wealthy have elected and bought
to protect thier classiness.

Just stop it.

Accept your lot in life, be a good commoner and quit dreaming of "change".

Get a couple more jobs. Go buy an SUV.

You'll feel better in the end.

The first point is that we have to recognize we aren’t making
healthcare more affordable just by making someone else pay for it.
Asking your wealthy uncle to pay two-thirds the price of some $180
tennis shoes does not mean you are buying affordable tennis shoes.
Affordable tennis shoes are ones that have a lower price tag. So how
could we make healthcare more affordable? We should do it the same
way
that other things in our economy have become less expensive over time
— computers, Lasik eye surgery, DVDs.

The first point you have to recognize is that healthcare reform is
aimed at bringing down the cost of healthcare insurance, not
necessarily the cost of healthcare. The idea is to find a way to
spread the cost of healthcare among the entire population such that
the unfortunate few who suffer some catastrophic illness will have
money available for medical services without going completely
bankrupt.

It's a cute little Republican trick to keep harping on the costs of
actual medical care and insisting that healthcare legislation designed
to rein in the exploding cost of healthcare insurance will do little
to lower the cost of actual healthcare. It's a diversionary tactic
suggested by the insurance industry and eagerly adopted by the
Republicans and a few unprincipled snakes like Joe Lieberman.

The simple truth is that most people--at least most employed people--
can easily afford to pay for their own routine healthcare like
occasional visits to the doctor, minor cuts, general aches and pains,
etc. The problem is that few people can afford to pay for the
unexpected major health problems involving surgery, extensive
diagnostic tests, and long-term medical care. That's where insurance
comes in. And the problem being addressed in Congress is the
exploding cost of healthcare insurance, not the rising cost of actual
healthcare--they are not the same thing.

That's good. Dems should stay out of the business as well. Want
healthcare? Pay for it. Don't demand someone else pay for you.

When the whole country is bankrupt it can't provide much health care.

There is nothing diversionary about national bankruptcy.

I think it diversionary to separate health insurance from cost. The
two are related. As medical costs go up so will insurance. The tragedy
of the commons illustrates how socializing medical care leads to
decimation of the resource. So the key is to socialize less and
privatize more.

You people just keep playing the same little game. No one is
suggesting that the medical care industry be socialized--or even
regulated. No one is proposing government ownership of hospitals or
clinics, or government employment of doctors and nurses; reform is
aimed at the middlemen, the insurance companies who collect gobs of
money and fight to keep as much of for themselves as they can.

Insurance companies by nature try to avoid insuring anyone who might
really need healthcare. Relying on insurance companies to manage a
universal healthcare system is absurd--but that's exactly what big-
money Republicans are fighting for.

Werner most likely is a paid liar for the insurance companies. He isn't
going to mention that their charges in premiums exceed their payouts by a
full 22%, and hopes that you think that it's all caused by those greedy
patients who insurance companies should be allowed to regulate.

Werner recognizes that you don't want to be regulated by insurance
companies. Werner also recognizes that insurance companies don't want
to be regulated by you. A contract is voluntary. A regulation is
imposed. If you don't like me to impose my values on you shouldn't you
afford the same courtesy to me?

The closest thing to a Commie president in this countray was your fucktard

I love pushing a fascist's buttons by mentioning unions. Guess who will
be the first to go to the work camps when they take over?

AFL/CIO has never assembled a car.

Odd how he screeches that unions don't have personhood (and he's too
dense to have noticed that I agree) but that with corporations, well,
that's different.

Don't disparage the Republicans too much. If it weren't for them,
who'd pay for your welfare checks?

No one cares what it's "aimed at." If you're deluded enough to think

And yet administrative costs for Social Security are less than 1%,
compared with about 30% for private pensions. Imagine that.

These GOP apologists don't have a clue as to how to run a business anymore
than they have a clue as to how to run a government. That's the essential
mistake the public makes when listening to the GOP...the assumption that
somehow the GOP is 'the party of business.' As they've proved over and over
again, the GOP is the 'going out of business party.'

First, there have been revolutions. That can't be denied. Second
revolutions happen because the Social Contract was lost. That means
many of people stop being obedient. Often they tire of some people
seeing, wanting and taking their property. This could include the
wealthy. Taxing the rich has limits. Margaret Thatcher reminded us
that. "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of
other people's money." Capital, talent, and jobs have been leaving for
some time.


Dollars in the common treasury are like fish in the common sea -
anyone who can will harvest to extinction. That is why socialism is
fundamentally corrupting and can not work. ----

Your mental blinders are stupifying.

When poor people steal, the other powerful & wealthy help you hunt
them down.

When rich people steal, the other powerful & wealthy defend them from
your vengeance.

Hence, the peasant uprising. Google for a blog entry discussing how
many Goldman Sachs nobles have recently bought handguns...

Stealing has always been outside the Social Contract, no matter who
does it. Goldman Sachs nobles have their people in the government -
BigGovernment. We The People don't. The point you need remember is
that all segments of society tend not to want their property stolen by
government decree.

I don't need to do anything to protect myself or my

I think I'd like to try their "suffering", just for a little bit - you
know, so I can understand their side of things. ;-)

Of course, there are people who think of me as wealthy,
it's all a matter of perspective.

No. I know what they're not because of the evidence that supports it. See,
TiredBlockhead, I don't get my truth from quasi religiofascist leaders like
you do. My truth isn't handed down to me by self-proclaimed authorities on
morality and truth. That's another thing you'll never understand.

"neocon" means the same as "fascist" - an activist & expansionist who
allows big business to collude with government to exploit the people.
This is essentially Mussolini's original definition.

I don't agree, especially considering the neoconservative
interest in promoting what they saw as pro-democracy
movements worldwide. There's a nationalist, even imperialist
essence to Mussolini's fascism that was completely at odds
with such a concept. When someone is conflating
the neocon movement with fascism that's usually a sign
that they're effectively using both as content-free slurs.

You go on and on about what you've been told they're
not - and won't ever put forth a thing about what you
think they *are*. All you can do is howl your favorite

There's seldom that much thought behind an "eat
the rich" stance. Consider that simply by being
literate and having access to a computer that's on
the Internet we are wealthier than the vast majority
of the planet's inhabitants. Anyone presenting an
"eat the rich" philosophy here had best beware the
gnawing of little teeth, as there are vast multitudes
that would find them tasty.

Yes, that's my point - all you have is an idea that
they're NOT something. You don't seem to care
at all what they actually ARE, and that fact
doesn't seem the least bit odd to you.

What sort of bondage are you in, Hiccum? The

other people, or do you have something else in mind?
