I'm completely drunk on martinis right now, so maybe you'll actually comprehend this one...

What's so horrible with wanting a productive workforce and less of a drain on (and therefore need for) social services? That seems right in line with conservative ideals to me. Providing basic healthcare coverage for the entire population helps us take advantage of our greatest resource, which of course is Americans. One way or the other, we're going to pay for the people you consider a burden. It's either going to be for education and healthcare, or it's going to be for law enforcement and incarceration. I know which one I'd prefer.
I'm not a conservative, and just because something "sounds" vaguely conservative doesn't make it so. Like your plan. A "productive workforce" is not something created by sko wise men directing everybody else's resources as they see fit; America has reached unprecedented productivity in spite of such behaviour rather than as a result of it.
Yeah, everything is great (numbers in thousands) in America. If only those 76 million kids would get off their asses and pay into the system, we'd just about achieve nirvana. They should've been mowing lawns and paying into a "healthcare savings fund," instead of blowing their money on frivolities like comic books and heroin. Fucking kids, always dragging us down. Goddamned labor laws of the early 20th century, not allowing these freeloading minors to become wage-earning miners. Stupid liberals, they're going to cost us trillions in deficit spending, unlike the current administration... |
