White trash, Christianists and Tea Baggers, oh my!

When I hear people whine and complain about socialized medicine or health care reform, it always falls  into one (or more) of these three things.

1. I personally have plenty of money and tend to be a greedy and short sighted individual. Now that I am financially well off, I shouldn’t have to take care of those who are less fortunate than I am. In the end, if they really wanted help they would be like me and get off their butt, work hard and become equally as selfish. I also tend to be the individual who complains about business taxes and any other sort of state imposed fee, but have no problem using public schools, libraries, roads, services, utilities, parks and look to the military to protect me in times of war. I do, however, plan on complaining about these services and their short comings when they tell me they need more money, after I have decided I do not need to pay them.

2. I don’t know why I dislike this bill, I have never read a single piece of information about this bill, but I have heard from Fox News that it is socialized medicine. While  I am unable to explain what socialized medicine is, I am sure it is a bad thing because my single and only source of biased “news” tells me what to think. I refuse to follow Obama or his plan, because following a single leader blindly is a dictatorship. Glen Beck told me that. I love Glen Beck and believe his tears are real.

3. I don’t have health insurance myself and I am functioning poorly without it. I have been denied coverage before for several reasons and can not afford the coverage that is offered to me begrudgingly. I have, however, been so convinced of the perfection of the free market system and have such low confidence and self worth, that I believe that large corporations can not cover me because I am too expensive and probably not worth offering service to anyway. Jesus will take care of everything Blue Cross does not, and if he doesn’t, I will blame the devil.

Watch the clip below and you will not only see these three principles, but you will see why forced education is something I am a big supporter of.
