So it should say "redistributive policy downwards is wrong".

Or rather, Republicans support wealth redistribution from the shrinking working class to the obscenely wealthy who already have more than enough.

De-population.

They all know the real outcome of this plan, but they're selling it in a way that disguises their real intentions.

They want to reduce the population of the US, specifically by targeting those vulnerable and unable to pay for higher premiums and better quality care. Those people will suffer needlessly and die sooner. THAT'S the true intention of the Republican plan. Their rationale comes from the Neo-Conservative literature.

It's happening IN PLAIN SIGHT.

The press so far is refusing to explore this real possibility. Republicans need to defend their plan on these grounds. Are they intentionally designing this health care plan to cause more early deaths and more needless suffering? Are they following the direction of the Neo-Conservative movement, which calls for-- De-population?
