gee, is Medicare paying for Granny’s dialysis?? You have time to say goodbye.
Talk about ignorance! She was too dumb to know that the insurance company would think she was just rubbing their nose in it. Some people just don’t understand anything.
I do. Sowell is terrific.
At 79, this is one old geezer Obama doesn’t really want to parse words with.
Sowell is a treasure.
I do. Sowell is terrific.

I agree but did you click that youtube link?
I did after your reply. But that's not Sowell -- its Rev. Manning. I've seen the clip before and I hope both black and white people listen to him.
Hey, its not something for nothing. What do you think they pay taxes for?
But of course when you try to explain that they don't pay that much in taxes, they get upset and hostile.
I got into a "discussion" one time, with a buddy of mine. A very whiny, b!t@#y buddy. Everything for him reverts back to evil rich people. Especially conservatives. I tried to explain to him that it cost on average of $11,000 per child per year, of tax money, to send a kid to public schools. And that his $30,000 a year job, didn't pay enough in federal income taxes to cover him and his wife and their tax burden, let alone the 3 kids he sends to public school for around $30 g's a year. And that a rich person is the one carrying his load.
Imagine...he became even more whiny and b!t@#y (of course that was my intent)
Its funny, you mention something about "personal" responsibility on issues and instantly people claim personal responsibility. The moment you point out how they expect feel entitled to $1000 of service for $1 they get all upset and hostile.
They can't discuss facts. But they argue emotion.
I knew it was Manning, I never said it was Sowell. I think their message is similiar but Sowell says it in an oh, so classy way and Manning gets right down in the trench and makes the dirt fly. Sometimes Manning is so over the top that I can hardly bear to watch him but I have a tremendous admiration for his courage, I think he is literally laying his life on the line to try to stop what is happening to America.
Amen to that. I think even Obama is smart enough not to try it, he knows he mentally inferior. :)
Yes, and schooling is a particularly egregious example. There might be a few people in million-dollar houses whose local taxes cover the cost of their one child, but just about everyone is making others pay for their kids' "free education."

Ironically we have that with medicare/medicaid which will eventually HAVE to deny care to seniors to keep the the country from collapsing in debt. Right now we print and borrow money to pay foreigners to care for the elderly (medicare/medicaid). This cant keep up.
No, I am not saying to trust democrats with health care they plan on mandating the young and healthy share the costs with the sick and elderly.
