If anyone is shortsighted it's you. Materialism fosters economic growth and prosperity. By purchasing things I'm helping the economy. Not only that but the less my business has to pay in payroll taxes the more likely that I'm going to be able to hire more people sooner. This is why the liberal democrats are so f*cked up. They look at people like me and see an evil greedy person who's not paying his fair share. Therefore you have no problems raising my taxes. All you're really doing is harming the people I would have been able to hire. Do you think i'm not going to stop eating escargo and steak? Do you think I'm going to stop buying the things I like?

And so, in so many words, varrus openly admits that his only care is having more stuff.

This is a ******** argument. The number of businesses who refuse to hire more employees when they really need them because of payroll taxes is trivial. The number of businesses that refuse to hire more employees when they really need them because of profit margins is at least an order of magnitude higher. It's one of those arguments "capitalists" like to make to justify padding their pocketbooks at the expense of government programs.

So you admit that everyone in this country is afforded healthcare. Why the h*ll are we pushing for a new plan? You people see how well medicaid and medicare are working.

For a second, I was surprised to see you resort to such insanity. Worry not though, I've recovered.

I'd stop eating escargo. They're over rated. And French.

Should I stop eating french fries and french toast as well?

Lord, you're a moron. They go to the emergency room because they wait until they are on death's door. Then it is more expensive for us to pay for it, because going to the emergency room is expensive.

No, everyone in this country is not afforded healthcare.

Quote:

And you sound like a selfish tw*t who doesn't care how something affects the economy and general welfare of society so long as she feels good about what's going on.

You just described yourself, not me.

Healthcare for all would help the economy. Healthcare for all is not selfish, I already have healthcare you idiot. Healthcare for all improves the general welfare of society.

Good lord, are you really this dense?

That's a great idea. Now we just have to outlaw tobacco and alcohol.

Chemically castrating Varus would be the best job ever.

And all fast food. Don't forget that.

Because Varus is all for freedom, but not if you drink and smoke.

Maybe varrus should just move to a part of the country where he's not surrounded by ******* white trash all the time, which must have given him this skewed view.

ITT: We learn that varrus can no longer afford his cigarettes and beer. Why else would he be so jealous of the rest of us that smoke 3 packs a day and only sober up long enough to sell off our food stamps for more beer??

Good idea. Once tobacco and alcohol are illegal I'll get on board the national healthcare band wagon.

Last time we tried to outlaw liquor people started drinking even more.

Yes, but it provided job security in the bootlegging and rum-running sectors!

I'm down with that. We should also outlaw having more than two children per family and any kind of extramarital sexual relations while we're at it.

Until everyone got so depressed they didn't want to work anymore.

That's how the Great Depression worked, right?

Al Capone didn't seem depressed, did he? At least, until the syph caught up with him in prison.

So what? You support it, right? I mean, I hope you do since you were its cheerleader under Bush.

Isn't the more valid question "Do you support it?" or, "Did you support it when Bush was president?". Cause otherwise, this statement seems just a tad hypocritical:

Bush Schmush. The point is that Varus has no problem giving up freedom and property rights when it's something that advances what he wants. He only cares when it's against his party's agenda.
