16. Good call on the "personal responsibility" meme
I believe what he's implying is "other people should get used to dying rather than any of my tax dollars going to take care of somebody else." The young tend to think of themselves as invincible.

Nobody in this country should be dying of diabetes or high blood pressure or other chronic ailments that can be managed with meds and regular check-ups.

It seems to me that social darwinism becoming widely accepted by the very victims of that hateful ideology.
