Old couple killed themselves. I hope they're republicans.
« on: August 09, 2019, 02:17:34 PM »
Old couple killed themselves because they can't afford Healthcare costs.  Sad as it is, I hope they're Republicans.  It would be tragic if this happened to a couple who didn't ask for it but was put in this situation because of Republican policies.

These sort of problems are only a tip of the iceberg with this country.  The government has morphed into a government for the rich and powerful.  It's tax money collected from the working middle class are used for military complex to spend on endless wars and weapons of wars, etc.

Any social programs to help the poor and needy are labeled socialism programs.  But yet billions are are spend on the military with no questions ask, why is that?

I questioned my Republican voting co-workers, aren't you tired of wars?  Their answer: as long they are "safe", they are willing to spend billions more.  This is the sort of mindset those of us who are a little more mindful are dealing with. 

As I got older, I realized why the electoral college was set up at first.  To keep the masses from voting the rightful person into office.  Whoever "controls" the electoral college electors will always be the ones putting whoever they want in office.  I see this country splitting between the rich and the poor in 20 years fighting for resources.  There will be a huge class warfare coming...you got the right-wing, Trump thumbing people gearing up for such a war already.  Preppers online, off the grid people are all aware of this coming for a long time.  All you need to do is go on youtube to see what I'm talking about... people buying tons of guns, ammos, storing food underground.  This is the other side of reality most of us do not realized happening right now.

Republicans views:
Government helping the poor = bad
Government giving money to rich folks (like rich Farmers) = no problem, they deserve it.

The fairness of the electorial college disappeared when they capped the number of Representative s in Congress.  Infact, this makes Congress less fair too.

the deaths of these "apparent suicide" has nothing to do with governmental policies, but because they don't want to pay their medical bills.  Mind you, Obamacare is still in effect...if their death was due to healthcare issues, its in the bloody hands of democrats.

You are becoming heartless with your comments.  Show some compassion.

Forget compassion.  This could've been prevented if we had universal healthcare, but Republicans are totally against it because it would mean the end of private insurance and they're rich friends would be upset at them.

I hate to say it but I would do the same too if I need such medical treatment and can't afford it. Better to die than to struggle endlessly. Whether the country opts for universal healthcare or not medical cost will never be fixed. We will still be paying way more than we need to. It's just ridiculous! What the government needs to do is reign down on pharmaceutical and the medical sector. They're just out of control...

You can’t become the devil to change the world for the “better” like Thanos.  That’s how you get Trump and Hitler.

no need to be a devil, just gotta acknowledge that compassion won't bring back those that died because they couldn't afford to pay medical bills and Republicans won't allow universal healthcare because it would mean revenue loss to big insurance companies who contribute to them.

Lazy people should be paid by Government and Government has the right to increase taxes for those who works.

Republican view: Lazy Rich people (like big farmers) should be paid by Government and Government has the right to increase taxes for those who work, Rich people deserve it, but  absolutely against help for poor people because they're not rich so they don't deserve any help.
