[Platt] Steaks, expensive cheese, expensive veggies -- you name it,they buy it.
[Arlo] Caviar, lobster tails... ah the gourmet life of the poor. [Platt] As for why me not wanting to take advantage of others, I guess you don't read. [Arlo] Let me ask you a personal question, Platt. As one who has seen tragedy in his own life. Had you not been able to afford to health insurance, would you have actively argued against your daughter receiving medical care because you didn't want to "take advantage of others"? I can tell you this, had that been the case, I would have been outright happy to know my tax dollars may have helped in even the slightest way. [Platt] So what? Waste, inefficiency, and bloated bureaucracies while people die waiting to get treated and you say "So what?" [Arlo] Again, problems in the system, sure. Replace it with one where the rich get care and the poor are left untreated? Not a chance. Who lives and who dies is not something the "market" should decide. [Platt] Yes, let's all have no shame for being leeches on the backs of those who work. "Animal Farm" anyone? [Arlo] Again, there is nothing shameful about being downtrodden. Rather than wanting to humiliate them, we should work to improve the employment and income potentials where they live, and provide retraining and adult education. Rather than spit on the "lazy, worthless poor", we should take a lesson from the man whom the conservatives pretend to admire and help them instead. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
