to help the sick and dying.

You have to remember, these are the same people who would line up their own family members for sacrifice before they'd turn their backs on power and money.

anyone. That is, until something happens to one of them personally, one of their family or God forbid one of their campaign donors. Then and only them will you see action and for all the wrong reasons. Selfishness and greed have become their driving force in life. Nothing else matters. Nothing!

Hell, it's part of the plan. This country cannot support us all. Some must go. Believe me, the rich won't be the ones to die or be imprisoned.

Letting us all die is part of what they want, not an oops for them. Totally purposeful.

What could possibly make them content? What will it take before they say "Ok, let the women and children live?"

Your people quality increases with your wealth.
Below a certain threshold you cease to be a person anymore.

I was working, and a blood clot from Lupus caused it!
Now I have heart damage, and can not afford the tests to see how bad it is, Nor a cardiologist to treat it. I take a baby asprin a day and pray.
Im only in my 40s, I have sat at a social workers desk and begged.

I make 800 a mo in Alamony and THAT is what I live on, rent food everything.

It truly is an extermination!

Whats sad too is I miss my Job I miss my friends, I miss my life,
I cannot get it back without care, and now of course Im labled for NOT working etc.

I just want my life back, and Im fighing everyday for that goal, sometimes walking 3 hrs at a time to get stronger.
