From tax cuts for the rich while punishing the middle class, to Union-busting and safety-net crushing, etc etc etc. I know I'm preaching to the choir, we can all list hundreds of ways the GOP has waged class warfare on it's citizens, while most have been down-right obvious and embarrassing while going un-checked by the MSM, one has recently stuck out like an obvious sore-thumb.
The one I'm talking about is the GOPs blatant advocation of letting an uninsured man die. On the surface it seems like just the usual jaw-dropping ridiculous GOP statements and proposals but dig a little deeper into the social meaning behind it and you will see blatant class-warfare.
The GOP is basically saying that everyone who is wealthy and everyone who is born wealthy should have a greater chance to live than those who cannot afford to buy private sector health insurance at insanely high prices. And not only SHOULD the wealthy have that greater chance at living but those who weren't born wealthy, or are wealthy, should be punished with DEATH.
This would mean that they are currently advocating the death of 50 MILLION American citizens. Our brothers and sisters, our neighbors, our children, our parents, Granny and Grandpa, etc. Everyone currently uninsured in their eyes should just DIE and DIE QUICKLY!
Now for the rest of you who may be able to afford Wolf Blitzer's imaginary $200/month health insurance (which still sounds insanely pricey considering people are scraping by week to week) and choose NOT to purchase health insurance for whatever reason (most likely because we all know health insurance is more like $700-$2000+ per month), well you should also DIE as well.
And let us NEVER FORGET that purchasing this product doesn't guarantee you will be covered, because this product's company irresistibly puts profits over people. So you are basically paying for something NOT guaranteed. Like buying a car but the dealer chooses which day you can drive it and they never give you a set schedule. You just wake up every morning hoping it's in your driveway.
So they oppose the mandate yet threaten your poverty with a death sentence. And people are afraid of "socialized medicine?". It's obvious which one is far scarier. Poverty and uncertainty is WAY SCARIER than "socialized medicine". Can you imagine what our Founding Father's would have to say about this?! Our Founding Father's who already had a socialized form of health care within their military ranks!
The notion that we let a human being die just because he doesn't have a product shreds to pieces the pristine fabric of American society. The GOP has become Cultist Third Reich Neanderthals and they are determined to bring down our entire society until we are under a Fascist-Theocratic rule. Rules they will impose on each and every one of us until human life itself is a commodity, until we are just robotic slave laborers fighting for the lowest wages. A Utopia where human life is meaningless.
And at last, after all these deaths and tragedies have occurred and sorrow and moral shame reaches every corner of our Nation, the GOP will claim success in cutting it's Nations healthcare costs to the only people alive left to care: The top 2%.
On another note: We know that society's playing field is far from level i.e. many people born into poverty, so if you think about it the middle class and working poor have to work extremely hard to obtain health insurance while the super-wealthy esp. the ones born into extreme wealth never have to lift a finger a day in their lives.
This reminds me of an HBO documentary a couple of years back about children born into wealth, it featured people like Bloomberg's daughter, Trump's kids, and a bunch of other teen's who were born into wealth, etc. One of the son's asks his father what he should do with his life and the father replies that since the son never had to work he should get into art collecting or antique map collecting. It always seems the richest people are the most entitled and least productive members of society.
Btw: Feel free to add other ways the GOP has waged class warfare, I will be making a chart, picture and text based Youtube video on this subject and will include ideas and pics, graphs, charts, text, etc.
