Should we pay for the disabled?

[ChesusRice]

I could liven you up a little.

No I don't think so. But thanks.

 

[sheskunk]

No I don't think so. But thanks.

Good to know it's not that bad. Cheer up pumpkin, things will be OK.

 

[abandonconflict]

Fuck yeah!

Someone who can't work to provide for themselves or their family, should you and I as a taxpayer provide for them?

Why/why not?

Charity is a voluntary act. Forced redistribution is not.

Fuck yeah!

didn't rawn pawl try that with his staffers? i believe he did.

kent snyder was the guy who was uninsured and ended up dying from a treatable illness. racked up $400,000.00+ in medical bills, and only private charity only covered 1/10th of it.

he ended up freeloading and mooching the rest of the costs onto society as a whole.

do you not understand that you are a freeloading mooch crybaby?

I don't do Doctors, unless they're witch doctors Now go change your diaper Poopy Pants.

your philosophy ends up mooching costs onto people who don't share your freeloader ways.

 

[Rob Roy]

No. You are either ignorant or ignorant, pick one.

 

[UncleBuck]

No. You are either ignorant or ignorant, pick one.

so the rest of us didn't have to involuntarily cover 90% of kent snyder's $400,000.00+ worth of medical bills?

oh, wait. we did.

you're the one who has to outright deny reality in order to justify your mooch philosophy. let's not even get into your historical revisionism about how pleasant and "indifferent" the south was before civil rights raped them all into servitude to the black man.

If you are forced to do involuntarily things, perhaps you should reevaluate your priorities and loyalties, Mr. Stockholm Syndrome Poopy Pants.

i don't want to be involuntarily forced to cover your medical bills, even though i eventually will because you are a freeloading mooch who has problems facing up to reality.

Oh here we go with its the fat peoples fault.
I am a large boy and could work circles around most the skinny folk I worked with.I have a blood sugar level of a 85 and that's its average.
And my blood pressure runs at 117/70
Not bad for a fat person huh!let alone one that is almost 50.
Last time I was sick was chicken pox 3 years ago.And I paid that bill having no insurance.So I think we should pay military and people born disabled and ones disabled due to actions not their own.

speaking as a fat guy myself, theres a difference between a fat guy:

and a useless waste of skin that lays about doin absolutely nothing collecting checks from the taxpayers

Charity is a voluntary act. Forced redistribution is not.

Using your definition, any form of taxation is "forced redistribution", since 100% of respondents to the poll agree the disabled should be provided for, do you suppose if it was voluntary, it would be taken care of? If so, why were social relief programs ever created in the first place?

If people would voluntarily provide for the things social relief programs provide for anyway, why do such programs exist? Why did the great depression launch a national campaign that earned FDR 3 terms as president? Why were labor unions so successful in the '30's & '40's?

"Forced redistribution" is certainly happening today in that multinational corporations are redistributing the burden of picking up the slack their employees face paying the bills to the American taxpayer, and I know you already agreed with my earlier post about this, so I'm not placing the blame on those that acknowledge it, just pointing it out. It definitely exists, but it's in the exact opposite direction as previously stated, the wealthy are making the poor pay instead of the poor making the wealthy pay (for their own goddamn product/service).

Crony capitalism shows us that it excels with less regulation, free market capitalism requires regulation, and regulation is not the same as force, it's reining in the concentration of power that is inevitable in a capitalistic society. Men with unlimited power through wealth accumulation have the ability to change the game in favor of their financial and economic interests at the American peoples expense, eg. the bank bailouts. Regulation is not slavery, it's the way we keep capitalism a free market.
