Healthcare Summit: Ben Stein Style
Just watching the commentators on CNN discuss the core issues about the healthcare summit and this little gem popped out of the mouth of that nob Ben Stein:
[Paraphrasing here]
Republicans *pay* more in taxes than Democrats and therefore don't want their tax dollars to pay for something that *only* Democrats will benefit from.
So, let me get this straight.
The *minority* party (check for yourself in terms of people who identify themselves as (R)epublican) have more money to tax, own more stuff, therefore they should get to decide who gets to live and die in this country?
Rich vs. poor?
Who does he think does the work in this country to put food in the grocery stores, teach our kids, deliver our mail, put out our fires, and protect our citizens? The CEOs and CFOs? And that parties can be drawn upon purely economic lines?
Despite the fact that this is one of the most asinine claims I have ever heard, there's more than a few problems with this whitewash.
Sounds like a monarchy to me, Benny boy. King George would have really liked that one.
