I'll counter your anecdote with one of my own. My grandfather died. Doctor in the hospital said he was dehydrated when he actually had sepsis and died. This was in the US

She died for the greater good of equality in healthcare. Her death was not in vain. She died so a poor lazy person could get healthcare they didn't feel like saving for.

They were crying like babies over the expiration of 2% FICA tax.

You don't get it. The core of American conservatism is exclusion. conservatives by necessity have to attack other Americans and that is why I expect you to do it.

The huh? is I didn't mention anything about a 60% income tax or FICA. That post had no relation to anything I had written in this thread.

No you don't get it. Obama attacks half of Americans. Everytime the man talks he is attacking. You just follow his orders and continue the attacks. Don't attack if you can't handle the crap flying back at you.

People are sick of hearing his crying and complaining when it is obvious. He needs to understand he wasn't elected to a dictatorship.

Lol, I wasn't talking about President Obama.

conservatives have been attacking other Americans long before President Obama was sworn into office.

This is because the core of conservatism is exclusion.

Low barriers to trade along with being a excellent place to do business
Very very large unions (the majority belong to a union)
Massive government taxation and spending on services with that money.
Many government jobs represent a lifetime job with incredible retirement benefits
To give you an idea-unemployment pays 90% of what employment does.

I could go on.
