(R) Rep Michael Burgress from Texas MY patients have NO right to the fruits of my Labor

[turbinetree]

So Texas when and if you re-elect this ass**** why don't one of you fine outstanding citizens ask this piece of sh*t if you have "any right" to live, because after all you are all bad fruit, and your sponging off his labor of making $174,000 a year has given himself at least 9 pay raises while in Congress, and your state is still right to work for fucking less

1. This talking point of demanding labor from someone and comparing it to slavery is inane.

Medical professionals still get paid in universal healthcare systems. This talking point only works on ignorant fucks like my Trump-supporting cousin, who believes in this magical free market that cures everything.

2. I am sorry

3. Distortion and partial truths...GOP SOP since '73

Ever since the Watergate investigation of Nixon started heating up in '73 and '74, the GOP has religiously used lying and partial truths as their baseline condition. Decades flash by and they remain the same...stuck in a disproved and discarded paradigm, living as if the threats of 70's are still the major threats of the '10's and 20's.

They are a party of liars and fools and they remain stuck somewhere between 50 and 150 years in the past.

5. From Juanita Jean, world's most dangerous Beauty Salon

To be a doctor, Burgess went to two schools: The University of North Texas and the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. They are both state supported universities. When he attended those schools, the tuition was about $75 a semester. Taxpayers picked up the rest of his tuition. This sumbitch went to undergraduate and medical school on the fruits of my damn labor.

He did his residency at Parkland Memorial Hospital, which is paid for by a specially dedicated property tax on the citizens of Dallas County. Oh no, he didn’t “take responsibility to have the provisions” to go to a private university and medical school. He went on the taxpayer’s backs.

9. Shhh....you might make the "I DID Build it" crowd apoplectic!

They ALL believe that THEY are the only hard-working, decent people around and that EVERYONE else is lazy and corrupt and trying to mooch off of them....their entire self-worth and self-esteem is built on this fallacy. Of course, the REAL core issue is WHY do they feel the need to think and believe such obvious crap? They're goddamn racists to the core, everyone you hear say that bullshit canard is either and out and out or closet racist son of a bitch...and after watching him, I KNOW which one fits Burgess.

6. By his "logic"...

...then public school teachers could claim there's no right to an education because kids don't have a right to the fruits of teachers' labor.

And there is no right to public defenders for those who cannot afford legal counsel.

And for that matter, just about every civil servant and public official could say the public has no right to the "fruits" of their labor... never mind that all these professionals, including doctors, would be getting paid for said fruits.

Thank God Burgess is no longer a practicing physician. With his warped reasoning skills, it's scary to think how he would go about diagnosing a patient's symptoms, to say nothing for his blatant disregard for the welfare of the sick and suffering!

7. It is essential to understand the underlying "logic" behind what he is saying...

...because it is the driving force behind the Republican/Tea Party/Koch brothers governmental interventions. Here is a good basic overview:

I am reading the book referred to in this article. It is breathtaking how evil and carefully enacted this plot has been, and how it's been unfolding under us for years. Trump's election is the crowning achievement of a very long-term plan to destroy democracy from within. They have much in common with Putin in their desire to dismantle our freedoms.

Even if Trump were deposed today, these fluckers have embedded agents of destruction throughout the Trump admin to plant irreversible changes to government in support of their cause. They must be identified and rooted out ASAP. We must also become more adept at recognizing and deconstructing the underlying arguments and propositions.

8. I couldn't make it any farther........

than his statement that "we were better off before the Affordable Care Act"......that was it. I don't need to listen to bald-faced lies from some Nazi Doctor.

[Honeycombe8]

10. Then HE has no right for his large deductions & exemptions to be subsidized by the taxes....

of the working people.

We don't get to pick and choose which program our taxes are applied to. We are one country w/common goals.
