The defining condition of US society is class. Not race, not religion, not sex or identity.
Proof? No one here would argue publicly that black, gay, women, or muslim americans should die. They do argue, forcefully, that poor people should however, because it's important that the rich get a $300 billion tax cut.
Will the redo save any money? Probably not, and besides, congress isn't allowing the CBO to score the legislation because saving money isn't the point - killing poor people is.
And democrats aren't saying shit. They can't say the obvious because their entire self image is predicated on pandering to middle class and up minorities - telling them that their problems are all due to privileged white people regardless of their economic hardship.
They don't do it in part because their own Davos class wealth would be in the same cross-hairs in a genuine populist movement.
That big club that you aren't in? They look out for one another.

1. I'll argue that ANYONE who can't fend for themselves shouldn't be propped up. Me included.
Thats the cycle of human existence.

3. Human? No, you're thinking of rats.
Even wolves look out for one another.

5. "Even wolves look out for one another."
They also cull herds of the sick and weak.
Chase 'em down to exhaustion, then kill and eat.
It's Nature's way.

18. So you start out grousing even animals fend for each other.
Then you misread my play upon your post and accuse me of dehumanizing others as animals even though my post likened my own kind to the animals you initially cited as more noble than my sort.
So, now you want to dehumanize me and mine as being parasites...
...even though...
...your entire thread is you crying because we don't allow you and yours to live off of us.
If it weren't for your internal inconsistency and blatant hypocrisy you would have nothing to say.
And from there LG proves he knows nothing about how taxes or the stock market works.
