The only people who benefit from this are the deadwood such as killthesunshine and 777. If you are a productive citizen, you will pay more for less or the same service you get now, it's a given.
That's a line from the Superman movie with Christopher Reeve . Gene Hackman playing Lex Luthor gave Genghis Khan as the original orator. "It's not enough that I should succeed -- BUT ALL others should fail." You know you've hit bottom when you have to quote movie lines to make your argument.
I didn't quote a "movie line." And even if the information in your post is indeed accurate, can you see why I didn't quote a movie line? Let it sink in, genius. In any event: http://www.google.ca/search?q=It's+...ie7&rlz=&redir_esc=&ei=zv-nS771GMaVtgez7LG5DQ
Obviously Merrick plagiarized the Superman script, or Lex was mistaken, but since you're intent on using movie lines to promote your agenda try this one, it fits better as this thread is a joke. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLHFdduVDVg&feature=related
It's not enough that I should succeed -- others should fail." Movies or not, that's a shitty quote. The way I feel it's "It's not enough that some fail at life, we must make all the winners pay for their failure" If somebody can explain to me how my helping to pay for 777's electroshock therapy and erectile dysfunction makes this a better country, then I'm all ears. Honestly people like that need to exit the gene pool. 15 -30 million new people on medicaid. I'm sure some are deserving of charity, but to force us to pay for all of them is immoral.
http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/04/gm_viagra.html Should have learned our lessons already, Taxpayers already bailed out GM and it's 17 million a year Viagra purchases, Gotta keep them auto workers and retirees rock hard. Who knows what type of crappy car they would build if they can't get it up. With that mindset...... who really knows how screwed up this thing will get and what all we will be forced to pay for.
A nation of new Orleans style parasites and leeches on society will lead to a disaster but then again lie-brals didn't learn anything from katrina so why should I care? I'm gonna thrive either way, I just think it would be nice if 60-70% of the population were not impoverished due to the greed and affinity for totalitarianism of a few.
