Idiot Americans Voting against Thier Own Best Interests

[acctnt shan]

Lots of FOXbots claim they are "independent thinkers". As a matter of fact, every FOXbot I know claims that. The question now becomes whether she actually believes FOX is "fair and balanced".

Did I ever say that I thought it was?

All "news" media is biased... but this, again, is old news...

No, I'm an independent thinker with enough common sense & knowledge of how business works to understand that an individual losing their job, pension, etc. isn't a result of some political agenda.

If you can't see the connection between gov't and big business, you're not much of a free thinker..................



By the way,..forget about Conservative/Liberal, Democrat/Republican.

These days, they're two sides of the same coin which happens to jingle happily in the pockets of major corporations.

Maybe there's a community clinic where you can go get your BP checked and have some basic blood work done for a reasonable price? I totally understand that medical costs are unaffordable even for many with health insurance.

Your situation is becoming increasingly common. There are approximately 1,000,000 medical bankruptcies and 67% of those filing bankruptcy have health insurance.

It's only getting worse, yet so many people who need Universal health Care fight against it. That's the point of this thread - millions of Americans who would benefit from Universal Health Care and strong labor laws but vote against their own best interests.

Sad part is. I work at a hospital.

Now, I always feel like and Idiot American whenever I see a Republican or Democrat win the presidency ...

Couldn't this just be put in the Republican Judgment thread? Wasn't that the thread created for arguing with conservatives?

Sad part is. I work at a hospital.

I completely understand, having 3 RN's in my family. And that's the biggest irony of all. There was a time that hospital employees were well taken care of. I worked in the diatetics department of a metropolitan hospital in high school (meaning I swept, mopped and washed the dishes, pots & pans) and we were treated free by the occupational health nurse if we got sick. Now, the highest paid staff can barely afford their premiums and co-pays. Just imagine what it is like for the houskeeping and diatetics, and other low paid staff today.

That's real funny coming form you Accountable - with your Socialized health care and government pension and government job.

You are completely blind to the irony aren't you?

 

[Johnfromokc]

Oh yeah - and all that Socilist paid vacation time you have to surf the internet for all those cartoons. :24:

Socialism is good for some, but not for all, right Acc?

 

[Johnfromokc]

The irony here is that people like Accountable represent the public employee that is screaming envy at the other public employee. Wisconsin is one of the best modern examples of Americans voting against their own families:
