Single Payer and the 'Slacker Liberals'

[discocrisco01]

Many conservatives may not understand the logic of President Obama's preference for the "public option" that leads to "single payer" government health care for all.


So let me tell you about some Democratic neighbors of mine. They are a fiftyish childless couple. He works as a contract technical writer. She's overweight, doesn't work, and already rides an electric buggy down the aisles when shopping at the supermarket. Bad joints, you see. When you talk to her, you quickly discover that she experiences the world as a victim.


Let us call these folks "slacker liberals." They aren't the only ones. There was that couple that hit the news back in 2007 that could afford private school tuition and late-model cars, but could not afford health insurance. So they enrolled their kids in S-CHIP.


We are not talking here about people that belong in the true Dependency Class, people whose whole lives are defined by government benefits. We are not talking about people who have lost their homes through no fault of their own. We are just talking about people that don't want to pull their weight, and have rationalized their way into justifying it.

Got anything else to offer, besides this right-wing tripe?

4. The only problem is that these people usually aren't liberals

and are the loudest whiners about welfare queens in the city. You know, black people.

In fact, I know a lot of people who fit that profile and there isn't a single liberal among them. They're all Rush listeners.

As for that fat gal in the supermarket buggy, she really does have joint problems. They're probably the reason she got fat in the first place.

I guess it's the childless part that makes them liberals to this writer.

This whole piece reeks of condescension and a total lack of empathy.

6. Nothing Wrong With Mr. Chantrill, Sir, That Could Not Be Cured Quickly

By being put to work at digging canals on two plates of thin soup a day, under the supervision of people who really do not care one way or another if he lives or dies....

7. "I disagree with that"

Why would you post it then?

8. contract workers (that I know) often have no or meager health ins. coverage.

so they don't have a lot of money

The lady in the electric wheelchair could have RA, or some other kind of autoimmune disorder like MS...

Maybe they are childless because one of them is infertile. Or they didn't have enough money or support to bring a child into the world. Smart people think of that.

Based on the authors' total lack of insight - a dearth of which is evident throughout his editorial, I would call this rag "American Non-Thinker" and the author "Stupid Fuckwad Clueless Asshole."
