They fuck you in the ass with their need for more and more profit at the expense of the bottom 95% of the public.
What self-styled critics are calling Obama-Care -- even though the Obama Administration hasn't written its own proposal -- is what is irking me, and the majority of the country right now.
Here's quick video that I saw on YouTube that simply breaks down the need for universal, SOCIALIZED health care insurance.
... don't let people convince you that the government "just can't do shit right." Not every private industry company runs really well, you all do know that right? Something 75% of all new businesses fail in the first 3 years... that tells me that only a few people really have all the necessary skills, business insight and PURE LUCK to make in the dog-eat-dog world of American Capitalism. Now, I'm a STRONG proponent of private enterprise and entrepreneurs, but I know that the greed incentive leads down the shady road of behavioral economics in which Zero Sum Games are par for the course... and that results in severe pain for the loser, and let's not take into account sociological factors like racism, discrimination, xenophobia and spitefulness. Racism is big factor to consider... even though President Obama is half-Black and half-White that doesn't mean the subtle, insidious effects are racism are still alive and well.
You should take note that White Militia Groups have been on the rise since Obama came into office with a Mandate from the general public.
In Michael Moore's sensational documentary Bowling For Columbine there's a bit where Moore interviews Barry Glassner, a sociologist from the University of Southern California who wrote a book called in which he points out that the average African-American male with a graduate degree has an annual salary roughly equal to the average White American male with a high school diploma... yeah a FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL diploma. So the Black man is really fucked, because he's saddled with some extreme amount education debt and he's only making what a white boy is making just out of high school with no debt at all. I mean what the fuck is that?!?!!?
So when it comes to health care, and Black people are much less likely to check out a doctor for a lot factors, but I can best your ass that the cost is a huge factor. Even for a lawyer or doctor or attorney.
The GOP/Confederate/Republicans and even those shift Blue Dog Democrats must really hate their own profession, because they ARE the government that they claim can't run shit correctly.
But let's talk about that a little more. The federal government CAN run shit correctly. It runs the U.S. Military -- which is tasked with protecting our nation and our national interests across the globe. Now, if you honestly believe that private industry can handle ALL THINGS better than the federal government, then we need to task private industry with assembling, training, and commanding the armed forces. Surely, it would cost less... in fact, the Pentagon could see it's budget slashed by 40 to 50%, if not more (now some of them Black Ops and Dark Projects would still need to be handled by the government, because in the hands of private industry those secrets might just be sold the highest bidder) and we can let those mercenaries dictate the fate our interests here and abroad.
Oh... I forgot we're already doing this in Iraq, and from the reports that have trickled back that money-hungry mercs have performed well, but they've fucked shit up, too, and are no-doubt doing/did a vast amount of raping, pillaging, confiscating and general, all-around war profiteering. What ever happened to those gold-plated AK-47s and other wild shit that Saddam had? I don't recall hearing that it went in the U.S. Defense Budget as "seized goods in a time of crisis." I bet some merc just took that shit, melted it down and bought a yacht off the coast of Florida.
Medicare and Medicaid and the Veteran's Administration are run by the government... with hit or miss results. Sure the VA has showed its ass, but so has private industry... take a look at the meat packing industry... shit, agri-business in general, that's not run too well is it? So many corners are cut just to make a buck! And we all know that's what happens with the private insurance companies. Insurance is the biggest racket there is, hands down... because of all the indecipherable fine print that dictates these exclusionary cases that one has no idea could come into effect, because the permutations that have to occur to get something "right" is just as elusive as it is to get something "wrong" when it comes to being covered by the policy. However, when you are sick and/or in pain, you don't think about these things, you just, "I have insurance, I'm covered" and then bill from the unwaveringly callous accounting office arrives... and you see that you still going to be out of pocket by some $300 to $1000 that you didn't expect!
Americans have this ethos about working until we drop, and that hard work will pay off and allow you to live the best life that you can hope for you. Now that's a crock of shit that is continually sold by hook or by crook by all these people who don't understand sociology and how socio-economics playout in our imperfect union.
What lot of people may or may not know is that their fear of unions, so-called socialism and other so-called anti-American policies are being aroused by rich industrialists who wish to cut wages.
