because he is pissed-off and wealthy people are such an easy-to-blame-for-it-all target these days.

forget that everybody is responsible for their own health. rich are just pure evil, right? :)



I say this as I sit in a waiting room facing a root canal I can't afford. I have good teeth, and take care of them. A tooth I had filled 7 months ago seems to be senitive and sore. I have health insurance but doesn't cover dental. Dentists are expensive!

Sorry but your argument is too easy. Taxation or lack of it would be directly why some people have tons of money and why other people don't have life saving services. Wealthy people are in part to blame for the system just as the tax system is. Blaming poor people? That's low.

Fact, money equals speech, wealthy have more speech and thus more control over government and taxation. More speech, more control, more blame.


you are claiming that "rich people" don't pay taxes but this is mostly a false claim. It's the effective rate that they can bring down. Warren Buffet pays millions in taxes, for example.

Yes, we are all aware he pays millions. Proportional to income, I pay more taxes than Warren. With that, the crux of the problem presents.

I never claimed rich don't pay taxes. Nothing short of you putting words in my mouth makes me doubt the validity of this interaction because A. you simply don't know better, or B. You are purposefully manipulating my meaning. With either case, I can safely conclude there is no point in continuing because you are trolling, or dumb.
